Hmm.  Is the size of the file specified in the bootp config or is it auto?
Like I said it has been a while so it is unlikly that I have the old config
that I used laying around.  In any case I do know that powersurge systems
can be netbooted.  As to which OSen can do it I am not sure.  If I get a 
spare moment I can try it with netbsd and see what happens.
