Does anyone know how to use 386bsd in a 'diskless' configuration ?

I remember that someone posted a patch to alt.sources that made it's
possible to boot from a floppy and then mount / & swap & /usr from
a NFS fileserver.

I've searched everywhere for the patch but I can't find it.

Can somebody help me to find the patch or the author of the patch ?
