Linux Remote-Boot mini-HOWTO: Configuring Remote-Boot Workstations with Linux, DOS, Windows 95/98 and Windows NT
Marc Vuilleumier Stückelberg, David Clerc
v3.19, February 1999
This document describes how to set up a very robust and secure server-based
configuration for a cluster of PCs, allowing each client to choose
at boot-time which operating system to run. The key of this configuration
is a bootprom based program, which let the user choose at boot time one of several boot images. This configuration is applicable using
InCom TCP/IP Bootprom (add-on for most network cards) or any PXE-compliant Boot ROM (ready-to-use in most recent PC with built-in
network cards).
