    Let all the files in the system tarball sit in a directory served by NFS (the NFS root)
    like this in exportfs:
      /home/pcroot    192.168.1.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)

    Run "exportfs -a" after editing /etc/exportfs, for the nfs server to be aware of the
    changes.

    Use a tftp server serving the root of boot/ (from the system tarball).

    In order to have PXE boot, use the boot/dhcpd.conf-example file for your dhcpd server,
    as it will point your PXE clients to pxelinux.0 from the tftp server. Adapt the
    configuration to your network.

    Adapt the pxelinux configuration (boot/pxelinux.cfg/default) to set the path to your
    nfrroot. If you use ip=dhcp in the kernel, the nfs server ip will be taken from
    dhcp and so you don't have to specify it.

    The linux in bzImage includes network drivers for some usual cards.


    QEMU Testing
    ---------------

    You can test qemu pxe boot without having a DHCP server adapted, but having nfsroot,
    like this:
      qemu-system-x86_64 -tftp /home/pcroot/boot -net nic -net user,bootfile=pxelinux.0 -boot n

    I don't know how to use NFS through the qemu '-net user' though.


    QEMU Testing with NFS root and bridged network
    -------------------------------------------------

    This allows testing with qemu as any other host in your LAN.

    Testing with the real dhcpd server requires setting up a bridge and having a tap device.
      tunctl -t tap0
      brctl addbr br0
      brctl addif br0 eth0
      brctl addif tap0 eth0
      ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up
      ifconfig tap0 0.0.0.0 up
      ifconfig br0 up # With your ip configuration

    Then you can run qemu:
      qemu-system-x86_64 -boot n -net tap,ifname=tap0,script=no -net nic,model=e1000
