But well, there are only two NICs that support PXE, aren't there? In
particular, there's nothing cheap (i. e. = USD 10) you could use in
conjunction with an old junk ISA NIC people
etherboot runs fine on Current, all that is required if to have the
'device.hints' statically compiled into the kernel you are trying to boot:
#To statically compile in device wiring instead of /boot/device.hints
hints NETBOOT.hints #Default places to look for devices.

Most people I know of that netboot boxes on Intel platforms now use PXE.
With PXE config, the pxe loader has full access to the NFS-mounted /boot
directory, so there's no reason to compile in the hints.
