etherboot version: 5.2.4 Hi, The instructions for creating bootup floppy for diskless PCs in ports/net/etherboot/pkg-descr is very wrong. The files "boot1a.bin" "<device>.zrom" do not even exist! Instead the following procedure worked for me: # cd /usr/ports/net/etherboot # make patch # cd work/etherboot-5.2.4/src # gmake bin/<device>.dsk # dd if=bin/<device>.dsk of=/dev/fd0c bs=512 conv=sync I do not understand why I have to use 'gmake' instead of the normal 'make' at line 4; 'make' ends here with an error: "Makefile", line 6: Could not find arch//Config "Makefile.main", line 212: Could not find arch//Makefile make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue The list for <device> names can be seen by doing: # ( cd drivers/net ; ls *.c | sed 's/\.c//' ) With etherboot 5.2.4, the list is: 3c509 eepro pcnet32 3c515 eepro100 prism2 smc9000 3c595 epic100 prism2_pci sundance 3c90x forcedeth prism2_plx tg3 cs89x0 lance r8169 tlan davicom natsemi rtl8139 tulip depca ns83820 sis900 via-rhine e1000 ns8390 sk_g16 w89c840 Could somebody please fix this? Regards, Rob.
