Last I ever knew about booting over the network was that if you got your
bootblocks that way, it would continue thus UNLESS you did a 'boot net -a'
to get the bootblocks to ask you what device to use.

I think what is desirable here is to be able to say
boot net -f device path-to-kernel [ flags ]

I wonder if that's possible to implement...
