I think that PXE is probably worth a try.  It's Intel's brainchild, but
it seems to be catching on.  Right now Intel and 3Com are adapting PXE
technology on some of their cards, I'm sure that more will follow.  I've
been wrong about these thing before, but I suspect that PXE is here to
stay, it seems to be an acceptable, generic replacement for boot roms.

FYI: A quick search at Intel's site for PXE will yield plenty of reading
material.  Some of it good, some of it not so good.
