Does anyone have any experience of booting a machine over the
network, like pxeboot, but without running PXE on a network card.
I imagine that it should be possible to load pxeboot at the boot:
prompt and have everything just work.
I could really do with booting my laptop into -stable, where it's only
got -current installed. I do however have a -stable server on site with
plenty of disk space. It would be really cool to remote boot of that
via NFS mounts, etc.
