I've tried building a `diskless-boot' floppy. The floppy has the
latest -current bootblocks and a kernel with "root on ? type nfs", and
nothing else.
One thing I've noticed is that the 2.0beta bootblocks seem much slower
at reading a kernel off a floppy than the old 1.27 (or thereabouts)
bootblocks. Has anyone else seen this, or is it just me?
