Ken,
Sorry to disturb you about a year old posting of yours.
I'm trying to include etherboot rom file into a Supertek's motherboard bios
but I'm having no success.
I received cbrom application and bios image from supertek guys and tried :
cbrom 3hbn-823.bin /pci rtl8139.rom
flashed into bios and change the boot from network first option in Bios
settings
and it didn't work. Also I sent rtl8139.rom to supertek and they couldn't
make it work.
Do you have any additional tips ?
Antecipate thanks,
