Hum, this is an interesting approach.  When I tried to
boot off the generic.fs, it did aquire an IP address from
my dhcp server.  Is there documentation somewhere talking
about how to do a install this way?

I had thought about this, but I am not 100% sure how to do
it:)  If I where to stick the HD into a i386 machine,
would I do a normal i386 install and then simply swap
kernels?
