Network booting with WOL-Packet

Hello !

I do have a sucessfully working setup with 2 diskless cliens booting via 
  a rom-o-matic eprommed bootloader. The whole thing works perfectly: 
DHCP server supplies IP address, kernel and root path. But the root lies 
on another server, so is there a possibility to wake the other server 
via WOL ??

Should this be done from the EEPROM-Bootloader, oder should I hack up my 
kernel.. Or hast this been done alread (I hope ;-))


Thanks, Simon.
