PXE booting

[Paul Mooring]

I've used this: http://etherboot.org/wiki/index.php as a work around
in the past to use a bootable CD or usb drive, to integrate with my
pxe boot environments, it doesn't really add pxe boot because the
system boots off of some other type of media, but it at least lets you
use the hardware you have.
