Thanks, Skip. I just net-booted a pi4 using your instructions. Very timely,
as I was running out of 2GB SD cards for my growing pi collection.
Can I just add two footnotes concerning the pi4 procedure:
- At the first step where it says "copy the EEPROM image of interest from
/lib/firmware/raspbe
Thank you! I will add them.
I'll clarify that TFTP_IP setting will work for RPI4's. I believe RPI3's
will still require the dhcpd patch, if I'm not mistaken.

That's right, the pi3 doesn't have an eeprom to hold the tftp ip address.
An alternative way to network-boot is to use Plan 9 as a boot loader:
a (minimal) Plan 9 kernel can be loaded from the SD card, which will
fetch
Fantastic. It has been updated.
