- Apple never released anything that allows a Macintosh to boot from an AFP
- server. There is a company that does offer a prom for your ethernet
- adapter and an NLM so a Macintosh can boot from a NetWare server running
- NetWare for Macintosh. I have not tried their product. The company is
- Sonic Systems, Inc. (408) 736-1900 and their product is "The Diskless Mac".

- I hope this info helps.
