Well, I only have Debian GNU/Linux on my drive and I don't mind that much
if it gets destroyed accidently or not...

One question: The page says booting via bootp/tftp isn't supported yet, but
it seems to work on my machine. At least it gets the LIF file loaded (see below).

BTW: dhcpd in the -current tree doesn't understand my HP's bootp requests
(715/80 BootRom 1.4). I know for sure that it used to work with older
versions of dhcpd...

I'm going to send-pr it with more details in a few days, for the impatiant,
here's my little hack-around (patch to dist/dhcp/common/packet.c):

   /* Is it a UDP packet? */

Please note that it will break dhclient, but AFAICT it doesn't break
anything in dhcpd.

Ok, I tried it on my Mirage. This is how far it gets (with bootp/tftp):
