I'm currently using Etherboot to boot FreeBSD on the Intel 100 card. The easiest solution was to build it using the linux-devel package and add back in the FreeBSD boot loader. They have added some really nice features over the original FreeBSD code.

Hmm, I need to take a look at that. I don't recall seeing the net boot stuff the last time I looked. Doug A.
