We on the Utah team all feel very much the same way.  When our clever man
Bart added the "return address" feature to netboot (which is what makes it
come back to netboot after an oskit kernel runs, without the time-consuming
PC firmware reboot), we stopped even considering using anything else.  It's
a command shell for kernels! :-)
