Hi.  I'm having trouble getting etherboot to work.  Does anyone have it
working?   My company bought the Red Hat Linux EDK and I haven't gotting
past the installation procedure because etherboot isn't working with the
NICs I've tried.

I tried it with the FA310TX and it isn't working.  (the Ethernet ID
seems to be wrong).

I tried it with the D-Link DFE-530TX+ and it isn't working.  (It doesn't
see the card).

Can someone tell me a specific NIC manufacturer and card number that is
working with etherboot?  I'd really like some feedback that it does
actually work with something.

I've also tried it with several versions of the program (etherboot-4.5.6
and etherboot-4.6.2) but I'm a little stuck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :) :) :)

Did you burn roms for the cards you tried? They all need different
boot-roms.

Did you watch the boot messages and see if the rom was actually
executing?  What happened?

We were never able to get the old cabletrons (2100?) to work fully,
shame since we had about 35 of the suckers.

Find the eterboot faq and read it.
