The key here is the hw

I've design a ser2net + power switch arround a at91 SoC so with an embedded
linux you can run ser2net on it and use with kterm via RFC 2217

so you have a real seriel over net woth xmodem & co

then I use a small shel script to list and all the obard availlable and
connect to them or power on/off

so I can remote them as I play with 20 to 30 hw these day
If I don;t have this my desk with be full

the keypoint here you don't care about the mac address you check the dhcp
client option to provice ip/kernel/rootfs/oftree

I've add this to barebox and it's very handy at the end

I use isc server for dhcpd

bootp provide dhcp config

pxe is a configuration file with menu that use bootp
