Hi,

   isn't it possible to implement something like a
netboot for the Dreamcast? Like on my PC for instance:
I made a boot-rom for my network card and created a
bootdisk with it using lilo, so that I only need one
disk to boot any OS I want over DHCP/NFS. Wouldn't it
be possible to make a boot-rom for the dreamcast and
put it on a CD-Rom? It would surely make linux and
netbsd development for the dreamcast much easyer. Here
a reference:
