I'd like to boot some diskless DOS pc's from my UNIX(tm) server.  The
server is a 386 machine running ISC's port of UNIX.  The Server supports
TCP/IF, NFS, pcnfs, and bwnfs.  Right now I have a floppy with
the appropriate files to boot up and connect the pc.  I'd rather not
use have the floppy though.  

Anyone have any products or ideas?  I'm familiar with the PC and
its booting proceedure.  I'm also willing to burn code into an
expansion BIOS and use a little plug in card with EPROMs to solve 
the problem.  I'm not willing to use some other network though.
