Or better yet, a cgi that makes and caches boot floppies on the fly:

pick your base kernel:
1) GENERIC
2) DPT
3) ... ?

check modules:
( ) NFS (allow NFS install)
( ) ppp (allow ppp install)
( ) ... ?

:)

some dependancies would need to be constructed (make sure ppp is installed
with ppp.kld) yeah i know it'll prolly have to use a vn device, but it
could be done, maybe with "write_mfs_inkernel"
