I too have just tried a net boot of 0.9.3 from a remote location and also
failed. I noticed MUCH too late that the lifimage contains the following
files:

    0/vmlinux32 3122078 bytes @ 0x7800
    0/vmlinux64 3990942 bytes @ 0x302000
    0/ramdisk 1946807 bytes @ 0x6d0800

But PALO chooses a default kernel path of

    0/linux

I assume that is simply that the PALO definition in the lifimage is
incorrect. Once I get my remote button pusher to power cycle the system
for me (she is out shopping right now) I will try an interactive boot &
change the command line to boot the correct kernel.

If you get chance to try this before me then please let me know how it
goes.
