I dissagree with Terry, sorry Terry, I have setup one of my
diskless systems to boot the kernel from the local C: drive.
However, I had to rebuild the kernel to use a memory FS to place root
and NFS mount the rest across the net... I don't however remember how
I did it... So, if I am the only one to do this, maybe Terry is correct.
