On machines with OpenBoot, simply enter the boot monitor on the machine you are installing to (see Invoking OpenBoot, Section 3.8.1), and use the command boot net. Some older OpenBoot revisions require using the device name, such as boot le(). --- In reality the command boot net works with a RARP server only.
