Nope.  Nettrom can boot off of any partition - even the flash.
(actually, I don't think Nettrom 2.0.1 can handle NFS booting with the
old a.out kernel which we have)

My /dev/hda4 is pure Debian - with the exception of bash and that
persistent libstdc++ that we snarfed from the Corel image.  (There is
a Debian libstdc++ as part of the egcs package, but I think there may
be some bugs that need to be worked out first).

Cheers,
