Jarod,

Thanks for those pointers.  I had the client made up from the 
system-config-netboot point in about an hour.  I've almost got this 
dumb netbooting pc working (I think).  When the client tried to load, 
it got along pretty far until I hit this:

kernel panic: No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel

I went over to busybox and googled with no fix.  I've tried passing 
init=/bin/sh in the kernel with no luck.  What am I missing?

Thanks,
Paul
