Is anyone out there booting PCs using tftp?  Is it possible to cram tftp
into the 8K that is available on the NI5210 (for example)?

We want to be able to boot machines from anywhere on our network.  Floppies
won't do for three reasons: the license restricts the operating system to a
single machine, users need access to machines that they don't have an
operating system for, and users can't be trusted not to trash floppies.
