As Dave said, netboot used to boot BSD kernels.  You might find the
following diff useful if you want to hack BSD-booting back in.  I went
into the archive and diff'ed -cN between the two revs:

old = 2.01 = booting BSD kernels
new = 2.02 = booting Multiboot kernels, plus other changes

See the NEWS entry for a few more details.  Note that plenty of other
changes happened to the OSKit meanwhile, so you can only use this diff
as a guide, not as line-for-line code.

You can get it from ftp://flux.cs.utah.edu/flux/oskit/netboot-2.01-2.02.diff.
