+==================
+GRUB Boot
+==================
+
+This is useful for, eg, installing debian over the network with no cd drive or
+usb stick.
+
+Download the appropriate initrd.gz and linux kernels from whatever netboot
+intallation location (two seperate files), and put them somewhere like
+``/boot/install/``. Then edit ``/boot/grub/menu.lst`` and add an entry like::
+
+ title new install
+ root (hd0,0)
+ kernel /boot/install/linux ramdisk_size=128000 root=/dev/rd/0 rw
+ initrd /boot/install/initrd.gz
+
+Edit the ramdisk size, ramdisk device path, etc as needed.
