  We have a PC that we want to install 386BSD on, but it only has a 
60-megabyte hard drive.  We were wondering if we could split the 
installation between a small (< 20 MB) partition and a large NFS-mounted
partition on one of our other machines.

  Is this feasible?  If so, what essentials do we need on the local 
partition in order to boot up and mount the NFS partition(s)?
