If you use tftp://somesite/lrp.conf or something like that for a source
(after disk packages are loaded) then it should work. lrp.conf needs to
have a list of packages to load.
I forget the full details, but it should be in syslinux.cfg - or at
least some details should be there.
Loading packages this way instead of using netload would also mean that
when the FTP server starts the network is present and operational.
