It would be nice if some commiter would commit pr:
	[1999/01/13] ports/9480 ports    ELF kernel netboot

I know one person is using is using it besides me.  Note that since then we 
have found 2 bugs in it.  One is that in my patches I forgot and
init_serial in main and used option 131 for boot how to which was used
for swap options.  If someone lets me know if they are going to commit 
it then I will send them the patches.

It is better then nothing and they support more cards then FreeBSD netboot.

That OSKit looks interesting.

BTW here is another data point for bootp/tftp kernel booting, iMac and 
other open firmware Mac's boot via bootp/tftp.
