My university department has a load of BSD-able Macs that we'd like to use
as intermittent X-terms/mac machines.  I know how much faster BSD based X
is that the in-Mac solutions.  I'd rather not reformat 20+ drives.  Is
there a way to mount root from NFS in the mac 68k BSDs?  I have done this
with Intel Linux, leaving only the kernel on the old native filesystem,
and running totally off NFS.  It is a beautiful use for 30 386s... but I'd
even more like to see 30 IIci's going at it.

Any suggestions?  If I get it up, I'll write docs.
