Yeah, I tried doing it from OpenBSD once and could never quite make it
work.  I could get it to work right up until, if memory serves, the
point where it tried to load and start its kernel from the jumpstart
server, then it would immediately panic.  I never managed to get enough
diagnostic information out of it to figure out what precisely was
causing the panic, beyond an unconfirmed suspicion that it was something
to do with the underlying filesystem.
