It would be nice if some commiter would commit pr: [1999/01/13] ports/9480 ports ELF kernel netboot I know one person is using is using it besides me. Note that since then we have found 2 bugs in it. One is that in my patches I forgot and init_serial in main and used option 131 for boot how to which was used for swap options. If someone lets me know if they are going to commit it then I will send them the patches. It is better then nothing and they support more cards then FreeBSD netboot. That OSKit looks interesting. BTW here is another data point for bootp/tftp kernel booting, iMac and other open firmware Mac's boot via bootp/tftp. Doug A.
