Thanks Markus.

I don't have it set up at the moment, but I can "make it so". I have a
linux box as my main machine (I can feel the stony glares of 1000
*BSD-heads), so I can make it an NFS/bootp/tftp server as required. I've
never done it before, but I'm trying to get the alpha going for fun, not
profit, so it's all good.
