I found this message, but the site "http://wpkgate.kc.com.my/remoteboot"
is down since many days. Who can tell where to retrieve useful information on
how to boot win98 diskless.
I wanted to use a Linux server running BOOTPD/TFTPD, and the
ETHERBOOT package to make bootrom code.
I also started successfully making netboot MKNBI_DOS and _LINUX
images. Now, when it comes to the WIN98 image...
Any help and suggestions will be appreciated

For those who are interested in remote boot MS Windows, this may not be a
bad news for the weekend :). I have just succeeded in remote booting Windows
98, including IE 4.01, completely diskless! (well, I meant it). I have also
documented the steps for which I have taken. This is the final version (so
far), after several tries.
Please take a look at http://wpkgate.kc.com.my/remoteboot/win98.txt.
Yet there are some issues to be resolved, such as long file number support,
MSClient support, please share any comment and advice, so that I can add
them to this document.
