Anyone heard of cobbler? (no, not the shoe repairman nor the

Several of our university clients use it for Intel lab machines. Depends
very heavily on DHCP and PXE, but it's pretty slick when you've got it
set up and working.
Having PXE support for s390 would be pretty slick, esp if the "boot
PROM" image could be loaded from a NSS.
Got some time on your hands? Look at the etherboot[1] project; it has a
PXE "boot rom" these days. Does Some things better than pxelinux.
Cal be booted from floppy too:-)
Oh, so no floppy? I'm sure it could be booted from a USB disk or even a
VM Minidisk:-)
1 It needs a driver for your nic, but I suspect that Linux drivers are
readily adapted.
