Comments/Problems:
Maybe I'm not understanding the point of pxebooting, but the initrd
included in pxeboot.tar.gz doesn't include any ide or lvm modules.
I downloaded kernel-image-2.6.7-1-386_2.6.7-2_i386.deb from the archive,
unpacked it, and copied over ide-core.ko, ide-disk.ko, ide-generic.ko,
ide-pnp.ko, and all of the md directory. I was really using this
install to teach myself how to set up pxe. The install itself went very
smoothly. Thank you for the effort put into this high-quality system!
