what about netbooting anything?

[Martin Dudle <dudle@ifi.unizh.ch>]

hi there

forgive me if you consider this question stupid, but what about
improving the netboot toolkit for it can create images out of any
kind of program?

is there anybody working on such a thing?

it would be nice to have a mknbi (and no mknbi-XXXXX) that can take any
kind of kernel (eg. a freebsd kernel) and make it net-bootable.

looking at the sources i roughly guess that the different OS's rely
on certain static facts which are unique to the specific OS. i'm
interested in information about those basic assumptions and structures
and would appreciate if someone might point me into the right
direction.

greetings,
