a few questions to those who have looked at this code:
1) which cards does etherboot support ?
2) how hard would it be to make etherboot compilable under FreeBSD ?
3) what "nice features" are you referring to except the 100Mbit
support ? about last 1yr ago we managed to make netboot get all
of its data from bootpd without having the annoying TFTP
configuration file -- that was in my opinion a significant
improvement.
thanks
