Is there a way to install DragonFly via network (w/o CD) ?

:uhm, I'm pxebooting and I don't need to change the kernel config, IIRC.
:Seems the kernel just uses the data the pxeloader received.

You must be using a BOOTP-enabled kernel, yes? Because without BOOTP
the kernel will not be able to NFS mount the root filesystem.
The default GENERIC kernel does not enable BOOTP, and I don't think
we want it to... it's dangerous to do that sort of thing because if
someone has, say, a big honking setup with lots of disks on the one
hand, and an auto-bootp-installer on the other, they might accidently
destroy an already-operational machine if something goes wrong during
booting.
