Does anyone know of a method do boot PC-NFS off a ROM?  Suppose we write
our own PROM to download a bootdisk image into memory.  How would we then
get the PC to use this disk image instead of the A: drive?  Or suppose
we steal INT 13 and just feed the BIOS our own bootstrap code when it
tries to read the boot sector.  This code would then download IBMBIO.COM
and run it, but then how do we feed it IBMDOS.COM, etc?

Any comments/suggestions/etc?

Thanks,
