Fixed, in cvs.  Here'a patch if you'd like to try it.

~tftpboot is rather unusual, it's normally /var/lib/tftpboot.

If you don't have mkinitrd-net-1.10-3mdk, there was a change in the
kernel, moving nfs to integrated, rather than modular, which effectively
broke the creation of nbis. (see BUG 3003)

There normally aren't any kernels nor links either, just an initrd and
boot image for the NIC. For example for your eepro100:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] sbin]# ls -l /var/lib/tftpboot/
total 2944
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      2130944 Mar 13 07:31
boot-eepro100.2.4.21-0.13mdk.nbi
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       869116 Mar 13 07:31
initrd-eepro100.2.4.21-0.13mdk.img

I've put these images up on my web space if you want them.
