The 386EX is still in substantial use for embedded devices.  Whether 
this is something DF wants to target, though... <shrug>

Take a look at:

http://www.i386.com/default.asp?c=6&k=12
http://www.bootdisk.com/

These have links for booting over a network; I also see a few for 
booting a *specific* type of CD-ROM and OS, but nothing generic (e.g., 
for DFBSD).

Hm... I have the feeling that this is out there, but I just can't find 
it.  Maybe GRUB has a solution?  Anyway, I'll take a look and see what I 
can find...
