Pardon if this ends up showing twice, I just didn't see it post after a

::Takes own advice:: 

OK, so looking at http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/netboot/,
there obviously needs to be a Dreamcast-specific page...and beyond that, the
document needs to be changed to actually guide the reader through a generic
process, with links to platform/daemon-specific configurations. I think if
it were set up this way, people could quickly get a basic clue, and then
later find details. 

Also, I think http://www.mclink.it/personal/MG2508/nbsdeng/netbsd.html
should be updated to point to the Netboot HOWTO, so that someone who's
looking for generic instructions will at least get a pointer here. 

Any agreements/disagreements/suggestions?
