A couple of years ago my former employer (SRI) had someone that had this work. However, it took two PCMCIA cards, one for the 'roof filesystem' sitting on a memory-hardisk, and the second card was the network. He donated the pccardd -z code, among other things that the PAO folks picked up. However, we can't do this any longer since Mike ripped out the netboot code, stating that 'new way' of doing things was so much better...
