Could you send me the patches? If they're relevant to the OSKit
netboot kernels, I'd love to commit them here as well.
On the subject of netboot patches, I recently patched up our
netboot to have a slightly less braindead NFS pseudo-implementation
(it enqueues multiple NFS requests on the wire at a time), and it sped
things up by about 30-40% here. There's always that question of
relevance to the current BSD netboot, but if someone who's poking
around in FreeBSD's netboot is interested, I'd love to drop off some
patches.

Thank you. :-)
