No, we never did it that way that I can remember. You could put a
kernel on a CD and then do a NFS root thing, but there was no
bootloader that I know of that could do dhcp and then load a kernel
from a CD booting scheme. That IP upload slave was pretty handy and
simple to boot with, is there some problem with this?
