Isn't PXE the way that Intel NIC's can net boot?
As for non-x86 applications of this.....it would be difficult as I'd
expect the BIOS code to be x86 and we'd need an x86 emulator at the
firmware level. Which we have in SRM (for Alpha), but seeing as we can
already do this w/o PXE, there would be little reason to attempt this.
