Basically, you write a script that deposits the network
bootloader into consecutive memory locations. The console
has deposit 'D/L <address> <data>?' and examine 'E/L <address>?'
commands built in...

Once I get my 780 re-assembled, I am going to write an MSCP
bootloader for the SCSI card... Unfortunately, it is in a 
bazillion parts scattered between the garage and basement 
right now...
