:> great deal of work required to support this we're stuck with BOOTP
:> in the kernel.
:
:Er, hello? It's _already_been_done_, even. See above inre: netboot.
Good god, you are talking about netboot? Hello? Mike, I get the feeling
that you've never actually tried to use netboot. You seem to believe
that it is direct replacement for BOOTP. It isn't even close. netboot
only works with a very small number of ethernet cards while the BOOTP
code in the kernel works with *all* ethernet cards that the kernel
supports.
netboot doesn't work with a single one of my machines.
