With all the consideration of network package loading and backup, I'll chip in my $0.02. This is a development method so I'm also sending this via the leaf-devel list, where it technically should be discussed.
First of all, David D wrote apkg to approach many shortcomings in lrpkg. Network loading of packages is one of the additions, so I would highly suggest anyone seriously looking into adding this support check out the apkg SRC code. Second, the PXE bootloader is offered as an option to Syslinux for loading of images (and possibly packages) over a network. This method uses sftp, which is supported most OS's. I would imagine that David has used this method with apkg, though I can't confirm it. I can't see a reason that any other method would work cleaner w/o needing to re-write existing code and methods available for the same purpose. I would also imagine that you can find some links for documentation of this method from openbrick.org.... which offers Bering booted in this manner.
