remote booting

[Yudong Tian]

Please make sure your NIC supports PXE boot or not. If it does,
then you can boot over the network without using a floppy. 
If it does not, you might need to use syslinux on a floppy. 
I did network boot and installation before, and here you can 
find the steps I took:
