Hi !

I have an old ISA motherboard with a 486DX4 on it. I could put a 3COM509 on
it, and I want to boot NetBSD from a NetBSD server. Some questions come to
my mind:
- how to do this ? The network card have a socket on it for a boot eprom,
but I don't have one, and nothing to do something similar on the BIOS (like
some recent motherboard).
- I need at least a FAQ for the server side (what option for the kernel,
DCHP, RBOOT, ...).
- Oh, before anything, is it possible with such hardware ?

Thanks.
