Thanks for your contribution. I think your patch is enough elegant,
but we should consider how to merge yours with Christoph's diskless
support patch. Have you ever used or read his patch? If not, get it
from the list archive. His strategy was slightly different from yours,
since he uses the free network loader "Netboot", but both your PXE
version and his Netboot version should be able to share the most code.
In fact, the difference between them is merely the start-up code, I
think. I hope that you can collaborate with him.
