I'm in two minds about this. On one hand it might help show the problem,
but on the other hand it might take Etherboot's attention away from an
offer which is usable, plus it might get annoying in networks where it's
expected that there will be bogus offers. There are a whole bunch of
difficulties that must be overcome in setting up a diskless boot, such
as getting DHCP right, TFTP right, etc and this is only one problem. I'm
inclined to think a better newbie document would do more good. Perhaps
we should collaborate with LTSP in writing such a document which can be
published by both projects.
