Fetching bootloader from network location

["jfinkels" <user=1542@nabble.blu.org>]

 I have been charged with the task of determining whether it is 
possible to boot from a network location without using PXE, and I 
would like to know if anyone else has any information on the subject. 

Essentially the task is this: Given a Mandriva boot.iso CD-ROM image, 
is it possible to edit one of the isolinux.cfg entries so that when a 
system boots from the disk, the isolinux bootloader fetches another 
bootloader from a tftp server, essentially chainloading from a network 
location? I can't seem to find a way to put this sort of thing into 
action. 

The best resource I've found for this is a website describing the 
automatic install process for Mandrakelinux:

Has anyone seen anything like this? 

Cheers, 
Jeff
