We need etherboot because...

It's too silly to boot from harddrive in case of silly OSes, such as from Micros~1 but still too much people, that worked in it with Inet and network. So what to do Sysadm people? Network booting is a way to have always clear system, not to mention how foolish and dumb it is. Something go wrong? Just reboot, You're beliving it helps :)) And seems the PXE standart are paper's standart -- there are many bioses, that say they have network boot, but really they couldn't, though your network card is fully PXE-compatible. Bad choise for workstations :((
