In fact, it didn't work at all. But I have tested it heavily and now
the support is working at least in my environment (ISA NE2000 + Floppy
+ Etherboot-4.6.2 + CMU bootpd + utftpd-0.2.4 with some official and
unofficial patches applied). Please test it as many environments as
possible. In particular, I want to know if it really works for PXE, as
I can't test the image for PXE myself.
For developers: Even if you don't need the diskless support, you
should try to use it, I believe. You will notice how much easier to
debug GRUB! Because you don't have to reinstall GRUB into any disk any
longer. :)
Have fun,
Okuji
