We need to be able to plug an Ethernet Controller (with boot PROM) into
a machine without NetBSD on, which must then connect to a NetBSD
machine, where installation of NetBSD across the network takes place.
Has anybody had experience with this sort of application. Also, does it
seem plausible to do?
Thanks
Bruce
