I wonder if it is possible with the current software to have a system
booting freebsd from the network by invoking some dos program.
I want to have a system usually running dos but occasionally I also
want to boot FreeBSD with it. I don;t have the diskspace to install
it locally. I do have very little to install a minimal filesystem.
Btw: It would suffice to just use it as an X server.
