Xbox clusters?

[W Bauske]

I PXE boot my tiger MP's (s2460) with Intel pro/100 pci adapters.
Adapters go for about $27 which I thought was fair to allow
me to boot/install without a floppy or CD. The floppy and CD
combined are more than that typically.

The boards I've used that have built-in Enet for Athlon have
used some sort of Netware boot capability which I know nothing
about. (K7S5A I think)
