The 90M has built-in FLASH, so if the software is already loaded
it should be able to boot without a server.  If the software isn't
loaded, you can boot and update the FLASH.  The decompression does
take a bit of time, so if you boot the 90M and then it just sits
there flashing the top 4 then the bottom 4 LEDs over and over
that's it decompressing.  You can hook a terminal up to port 1.

I've been using conserver since you recommended it.  It works
very well.
