I was able to wanboot Tribblix on a T1000 a couple of years ago. I
don't remember very much about it, except that you need a web server
that can function the same way as the old "wanboot-cgi" which I think
was written in C and may have been discarded at this point.
I don't recall how I figured all this out, but these are the files I
have left over from getting the thing to boot at least once --
including a prototype wanboot server written in Node:
