loadable module support for Etherboot?

[Marty Connor <mdc@thinguin.org>]

Someone asked if it was possible to use a kernel with "loadable module 
support" turned on with Etherboot.  I told them that I had never built 
one that way, but then I got to wondering. It seems like it might work.

If I compiled in all the necessary modules required for the booting 
process, and provided a /lib/modules directory for later dynamic loading 
of modules, would this work?  I can perform the experiment, but I am 
wondering if there is some deeper technical reason, like mknbi-linux 
can't deal with it, or root-over-nfs is incompatible with loadable module 
support, or something like that.

Can anyone provide some illumination?

Thanks,

Marty
