I've got 'pxelinux.0' working too. And, indeed, this is far far better
way than 'mknbi-linux' and 'imggen'. PXELINUX does for network booting
what LILO does for disk booting. In fact, it makes Etherboot, Netboot,
and LTSP obsolete.

I just wish PXE used bootp instead of dhcp. I can understand
/etc/bootptab, but I'm still trying to digest /etc/dhcpd.conf. :-)
