Ok, both files are on ftp://ftp.rifkin.technion.ac.il/pub/etherboot.
You can notify the list if you believe this is of public interest.

These two files contain kits (2 separate ways to do it), that allow a
diskless PC to be built, to use a server as boot image server, and file
server (over NFS). The code generated fits in an EPROM in the NIC card, or
can be used from a single floppy temporarily.

Both files are mirrored at ftp://ftp.rifkin.technion.edu/pub/etherboot

Be aware that netboot requires some patches. Inspect the site given in the
URL above for more (.../~gero/...).
