Nice idea, but then again, systems like Linux don't support the BPF and that
is needed by the netboot-protocol of the HP300's. And installing NetBSD/i386
can give some real problems too. (In my case it trashed my secondary HD, a
1.2 Gb WD. It's running again, but without NetBSD and I have to reinstall
Linux. They say to make a backup, which is surely needed, but what when you
don't have a real backup-device ? Backing 1.2 Gb on floppies isn't a real
option, I would think).

I think that the option as mentioned above is the best solution, although
using the Linux-system as NFS/FTP server should work well. It only doesn't
support rbootd.
