I have a working diskless frontend. You can find pointers for diskless
boot in general and for the Via EPIA M series motherboards in particular
at <http://www.viaarena.com/Default.aspx?PageID=5&ArticleID=52>.
Originally, I booted the MiniMyth image from <www.linpvr.org>. However,
since I wanted to upgrade some of the software, I decided to roll my own
build system based on GAR
<http://home.san.rr.com/benderfamily/software/gar-minimyth/>. Like
MiniMyth, my build system is targeted for the Via EPIA M series
motherboards, because I am using the Via EPIA ME6000 for my front ends.
