My point was to suggest changing the view from "netboot has some PXE
code, Etherboot has some PXE code, NILO has some PXE code" to "Let's
build some PXE code and port it to any of driver code from Etherboot
(with it's up to date packet driver library), netboot (DOS / crynwr
drivers) and NILO (OSkit).
