Just so everyone is aware my code for native support for linuxBIOS
has been added to etherboot 5.1.1.

Etherboot supports IP discover via DHCP, BOOTP, and RARP.
Etherboot supports downloading a kernel via TFTP and NFS.

Etherboot rom images are approxiamently 16KB in size, and
Etherboot supports most network cards.

So while this is not a perfect solution using etherboot should be a
good fix for anyone stuck with 256KB of ROM.
