Hmm.  Wiki seems to be down.

General gist is that your cpu/auth server also needs to be a
fileserver.  Then you should be able to use it as a filesystem target
when you boot.

It might be easiest to boot from floppy and hand-type the target to
ensure everything works, then you could try PXE later if you wanted
to.

I'd check Google's Usenet archives until the wiki comes back up, but I
seem to recall pretty clear instructions on the wiki.
