This server is used to assist diskless Erlang nodes which fetch all Erlang code from another machine.
This server is used to fetch all code, including the start
script, if an Erlang runtime system is started with
the -loader inet command line flag. All hosts specified
with the -hosts Host command line flag must have one
instance of this server running.
This server can be started with the kernel configuration
parameter start_boot_server.
