Getting this stuff running is kind of hard, but it _will_ be worth it 
almost no matter how much time you spend :-) You can also put Grub on 
the disk and then use it's ifconfig or bootp commands to configure the 
network and do tftp from there, but I have never tried that myself.

If your network adapter does not support PXE you can stick etherboot on 
a floppy (if etherboot supports your adapter that is).
