But the PROMs are for specific network cards, and all their are really is
a bootp/tftp client. Not the whole set of nice bits & pieces you get with
an OpenBoot PROM.
AMD were talking of supporting it ages back, when the Athlon was looking
like it would just be on workstations from day one. They seemed to drop
it, and go for the crappy MSDOS compatible BIOS though.
