We're netbooting a bunch of diskless machines, using
intel EtherExpress Pro/100+, FreeBSD 3.0-stable and
boot ROMs from www.lanworks.com.  I had make a tweaked
version of rawboot to get them working, though, the
source is at  http://www.fromme.com/ramboot.tar.gz

Only two drawbacks:
 - Works with aout kernels only (no ELF).
 - Cannot load lernel.config files, i.e. you can't do
   any pnp setup.

Regards
