The latest one compiles under FreeBSD using much of the netboot code, and is available from my home page as http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/bdg300.tgz It runs on a 386+, needs as little as 1MB RAM (can be easily modified to run in 256K, but what's the point?) and supports up to 5 boards (WD/NE clones; uses the ed driver).
