Pocket Adaptor support?

[Richard Gooch <Richard.Gooch@atnf.CSIRO.AU>]

  Hi, all. Recently I asked about network booting via a PCMCIA
EtherNet card. In my quest for a solution, I'm also wondering about
booting from one of those pocket adaptors (the ones that plug into the
parallel port). Would that be easier to support than PCMCIA?

Once again, I'd be quite happy to be able to stick in a floppy disc to
a laptop and have it boot into the BOOTP client and download the
kernel and compressed root FS from a server.

Is this something I can ever expect to see? :-)
