X-Mailer: VM 6.71 under 20.4 "Emerald" XEmacs Lucid Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm somewhat aware that we have netboot code that understands 3com 3c509s and nc8390's. Last I checked, one had to burn a boot ROM for these cards and they were 10Mb. The current batch of IBM etherjets (probe as fxp0) have dhcp-enabled boot ROMs built into them. What is required to support these, or has someone worked on this already. 100Mb cards could make a decent diskless workstation/server.
