Well I've a box like this, but they don't seem to be able to netboot :)
I've tried numerous times with my Linux TFTP Server and the machine just
doesn't seem to accept the packets :shrug:

If you have any luck, let me know because I've one just like it I'd love
to be able to put back into use (and several SCSI drives, with external
cases heh)
