I'm currently using Etherboot to boot FreeBSD on the Intel 100 card.
The easiest solution was to build it using the linux-devel package and
add back in the FreeBSD boot loader. They have added some really
nice features over the original FreeBSD code. I can post a diff
to the Etherboot 4.0 code.

Hmm, I need to take a look at that. I don't recall seeing the net boot
stuff the last time I looked.
