Oh, cool. Is the boot rom on the machine, or is there a socket there
somewhere? Where can I get a ROM image? Netbooting FreeBSD on our
several NICs at work would probably
Just turn on network boot in the bios, and setup the server for

To solve this problem, I invested in one large, fast, fileserver and then
ran the noise-critical machines diskless, with PXE boot. To deal with the
noise of the fileserver, I bought an enclosed rack.

I'd go $50-$100 less. Especially if there were no slots at all in it.

which made it rotate fast enough
