This *can* be done on all x86 machines too, once you get past the

Sure, sorry. PXE is Intel's Pre Execution Environment. In the past it really
only applied to network boots. As such we had to use something called BPBatch.
Just recently though they've allowed booting to the hard drive. Basically, when
the machine boots it, before it loads the OS, it goes up t

Isn't PXE the way that Intel NIC's can net boot?
As for non-x86 applications of this.it would be difficult as I'd
expect the BIOS code to be x86 and we'd need an x86 emulator at the
firmware level. Which we have in SRM (for Alpha), but seeing as we can
already do this w/o PXE, there would be

We use RH's Kickstart and PXE Linux to avoid the diskette problem and to make
decisions at boot time as to whether we'd like to boot across a network or
from the local hard drive. This allows us to manage many nodes in a cluster

When I worked as a network administrator at my university we developed

does it for Windows NT and Linux and can create dual-boot systems.
It's been in use there for a couple of years.
