Arg, forget my other mail, i keep forgetting that it is an oldworld machine.

No idea what those OF was able to read, but i guess network, hfs and iso cds
are still it. not sure though, since cdrom support may need some rom parts, as
well as the disk. In any case, netboot is known to work for sure, provided
your network card is netboot friendly, which mine doesn't is.
