Free Etherboots works excellent, pulls image with minimal rootfs from NT,
mounts remotefs from NT via SMBFS, boots X, Java and finally POS all
from remote box. No buying TinyBIOS, SanDisk, paying DOS licensing fees
is necessary.

JVM is a resource hog so our terminals use much more than that, but I

implement new design that will allow to get away with 16 and hopefully 8.
