Hi Erich: Yes, this is what I'm doing -- kboot does not have wget by default -- I guess you could enable it.
Since the configuration for kboot are different from pxelinux, they reside in a different directory (i.e. /tftpboot/kboot.cfg) -- therefore netbootmgr needs to be modified to support either, or both.
