Hello,

We will be happy to fix this.  Can you be more specific about what is  
wrong with the elf prefix that Etherboot is creating?  Better yet, if  
you could download an Etherboot-5.4.2 tarball from:

     http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/etherboot/ 
etherboot-5.4.2.tar.gz?download

  and look at:

     etherboot-5.4.2/src/arch/i386/prefix/elfprefix/elfprefix.S

it might shed some light on the problem.

Thanks,

Marty
