A note about the DHCP hack below: this is NOT recommended for general use! It is a
dodgy hack that gets around a problem in my DHCP environment (2 DHCP servers). It is
probably NOT necessary in a 1-server environment, and is a BAD HACK since it shortcuts
the DHCP protocol. This is a short-term work-around: what we really need is a fix for
the DHCP code so that it works properly despite having two servers talking at it.

grub-diskless-patch-2
GRUB 0.93:
Apply 'grub-0.93-0.94-1.patch' to update to the current version on official CVS
first.
Current CVS version:
Apply grub-0.94-1-0001.patch and grub-0.94-1-0002.patch by order. Use
'--enable-e1000' , '--enable-rtl8139' , '--enable-3c90x' , '--enable-eepro100' or
'--enable-tg3' after 'configure --enable-diskless'. Other card drivers have not been
tested. If any of them work on your machine, please inform us :-).

Another patch - a huge nasty hack which bypasses a DHCP problem I'm seeing in my
network environment. We have 2 DHCP servers, and I think its confusing the DHCP
implementation in Etherboot 5.3.5. This hack shortcuts the DHCP protocol, and uses an
OFFERed IP address without sending a REQUEST! In real life, it should work OK since
the IP address is only used for a short time.
