Ok, so they've thrown a nice new Pentium II 400 on my desk (with Windows
3.1 installed!), and I wanna play with NetBSD on it.  The problem is I
can't repartition (or use) the hard disk, so I want to run completely
diskless.  It's got a 3C905B-TX ethernet card.  Havard's USTAR boot
disk(s) seem to recognise everything that matters.

What's the best way of going about this?  Building a compressed kernel
on a floppy with "root on nfs"?

Any ideas welcome...

Simon.
