Not really, the BSDI installation procedure does it with one floppy. The BSDI bootstrap knows how to load a gzipped kernel image. I've made modified boot disks from their installation procedure. I've never turned on NFS though, and admittedly it's all packed in there tight enough that every time I want to do something else I'm deleting one thing to add another. An 8mb flash card for $300 would be very nice if it worked.
Well if you're talking i386. For NetBSD/i386 work is being done to make gzip'ed kernels boot at thi time. Regards, Neil. -- Neil J. McRae. Alive and Kicking.
