Has anyone attempted net booting  with intel 486 clients ?
We are able to download the kernel across using bootp but transfer of 
control to the downloaded kernel results in a hang/reboot. 
We are attempting this net boot with a diskless kernel.
Also tried to boot the box with boot.bin burnt into an EEPROM.
