Netboot is the program which was provided to network boot FreeBSD
from DOS or EPROMS on network cards up to the end of 2.2.X, and
possibly with some for early 3.X stuff. We're still using it here
'cos we don't have the time to reburn loads of EPROMs, so I assume
others are in the same situation. It used to be under
/usr/src/sys/i386/boot/netboot.
