Semi-OT: Netboooting diskless Debian

Difficulty Level: I'm ignorant. Goal: To build a diskless "kiosk" using an NFS-shared chroot on a remote server, booting from a non-standard tftp(?) server? I'm on a college campus. We have a DHCP server that is standard (I guess - I'm not the networking guy, but I have a good relationship with

I've gotten so far as actually getting a client to boot by using PXELinux. Since the client is actually diskless, the boot process stops when the kernel tries to mount a filesystem - that results in a kernel panic as expected. I'm considering using a RAM disk image or NFS to remotely mount
