}

if by -stable you mean whatever i get when i do a 'cvs co -rRELENG_4' src/sys
then there are some things missing.
	i386/i386/autoconf.c does not have the stuff for pxe.
if i compile a kernel with the BOOTP_ stuff, then i can mount nfsroot, but
[mount_]mfs is broken, i get 'bad address' when trying to
 mount_mfs ... /conf/etc.

if i see (or think i see :-) a bug in the diskless stuff who do i inform?
