Just so everyone is aware my code for native support for linuxBIOS has been added to etherboot 5.1.1. Etherboot supports IP discover via DHCP, BOOTP, and RARP. Etherboot supports downloading a kernel via TFTP and NFS. Etherboot rom images are approxiamently 16KB in size, and Etherboot supports most network cards. So while this is not a perfect solution using etherboot should be a good fix for anyone stuck with 256KB of ROM. Eric
