Just to let you know that diskless booting work out: The problem was: I tried always to run netboot.com from the DOS floppy. The correct program is nb8390.com (or whatever is appropriate to one's network card). The latter is the binary skipped by one block which seems just what a .com files makes. Could swaer that I formerly ran the netboot.com successfully (2 or 3 years ago) > > > > > Cheers > > Luigi > > -- > --Chris Christoph P. U.
