Going slightly afield (a.k.a. off-topic) for a moment, what is the
'guts' of the OS restore?  Is it simply a dhcp server and a tftp
server?  Is it possible to run the processes (probably as root, unless
it uses non-privledged ports) while keeping another unix box (CobOS
or other *nix) in multiuser mode?
