After I saw the first post I went and looked on the Shuttle webpage and
downloaded the manual.  Question that wasn't answered in the manual was
"Does the Realtek NIC support PXE?".  I sent off an e-mail to Shuttle
about this.  They look like they might make a nice diskless desktop.
Do you know if they support PXE?

Along that note, I know some(Jason?) NetBSD developer has worked on PXE
boot support, however it hasn't been added to the source tree.  That'll be
great when it happens.
