Hello, Edmund!
You have added netboot support to the GRUB.
My attempts to use it are unsuccessful so far.
I configure the CVS/current GRUB as
./configure --enable-tftp --enable-3c59x
The network card is determined by Linux as
3Com 3c900 Boomerang 10baseT at 0xe400, 00:10:4b:5b:62:3a, IRQ 12
I have slightly hacked netboot.h because I don't have root access on the
server:
#define TFTP 8069
tftp to the server, port 8069, works and I can download files.
When I boot the floppy with GRUB I try
root (nd)10.10.1.5
Probing... No ethernet adapter found
What am I doing wrong?
What's the syntax for network devices?
Is it possible to specify the port?
How do I enable verbose diagnostic in 3c59x.c ?
PS. By the way, configure defines INCLUDE_3C59X, but netboot/config.c
checks if INCLUDE_3c59x is defined.
Changing INCLUDE_3c59x to uppercase causes:
config.c:37: `PCI_VENDOR_ID_VORTEX' undeclared here (not in a function)
Indeed, there are no traces of PCI_VENDOR_ID_VORTEX in the sources.
It can be found in /usr/include/linux/pci.h
After defining PCI_VENDOR_ID_VORTEX and PCI_DEVICE_ID_VORTEX_3x595
to random values linking stage2.exec ends up with
../netboot/libdrivers.a(libdrivers_a-3c59x.o): In function

Enough for today :-(
