Thanks for the info - I also got the FreeBSD kernel to boot. I've re-read=
 the=20
diskless howto, and am now trying to compile the GRUB bootloader to inclu=
de=20
diskless support. Pity the package version doesn't have diskless support=20
compiled into it.

Almost there - just have to get an EPROM programmer, and then the sky's t=
he=20
limit!

Regards,
Michael.
