NeXT Software Release 2.0 would only build NetBoot servers "out
of the box" for NeXT-supplied 660MB drives; in 2.1 this was
changed to "any drive that's big enough" and BuildDisk lets you
set the size of the root partition.

We have 2.1 systems with 330MB and 424MB internal drives acting
as NetBoot servers; their /clients partitions are elsewhere.
This can be as simple as editing one line in /etc/fstab--but
that's enough to qualify as "not supported."
