Would like to test that configuration. Someone donate me a new harddisk, please :-)
I'm quite sure to remember lilo offers some possibility to select the next os to boot in
advance of shutdown. Would that do? Else make lilo read your serial line (what it
supports AFAIK) and go wiring to a admin-seat-reachable serial console.
/me after short reading of the fine man-page lilo(8) (21.7-5)
-R command line
This option sets the default command for the boot
loader the next time it executes. The boot loader
will then erase this line: this is a once-only com
mand. It is typically used in reboot scripts, just
before calling `shutdown -r'.
Sorry this has nothing to do with netboot, but a nice old telnet - or a more
fashionable ssh - will to the trick, I hope.
