There was a really good guide on how to do this (at least, from the point of |
| 2 |
view of booting an nfs-mounted root directory) in the alternate installation |
| 3 |
guide. I'm pretty sure that you have to compile grub with the |
| 4 |
--enable-diskless option. I'm not really sure how to do that easily within |
| 5 |
portage, but I'm sure someone will chime in with an appropiate answer. |

Obviously PXE-booting requires a machine with a modern enough BIOS to |
| 7 |
support it. |
