Oh! Ok, I've found where that's covered in INSTALL.txt (the FAQ
bootstrapping method was the way I was trying it). It makes sense.
[time passes]
I've now fiddled with the tftp server and the dhcp server. Booting the
install kernel is working ... and, hmmm. My serial-over-ethernet
terminal server isn't responding anymore.
I'll have to try again once that get resolved.
Thanks for your pointers,
