The same in principle -
UBoot can load executables from the network (you'll need a serial port connection to talk with UBoot).
This can be a Kernel, a Kernel with an initial filesystem, or both (two images, Kernel and Filesystem).
In addition, the Kernel can netboot its filesystem (note in the stock Kindle kernel cmnd line the: ip=0 argument? That turns off that feature.)
Step-by-step directions? Still way down on my to-do list.
Maybe someone else will write it up before I get around to it.
