If you have a floppy drive in this machine an alternative route may be
to boot from a floppy instead. Look at sys/arch/i386/stand/netboot/Makefile,
and make sure that the boot method you want and your network card is
enabled. Then build netboot.com and put that on a DOS floppy (start it
from "autoexec.bat").
I've done this for a couple of machines and it worked great.
