Potentially. Your mileage will vary. I have a system BIOS here which requires not just that the network boot is first in the list of boot devices, but that the hard disk is explicitly *disabled* in another menu. I even have one which just has NO way to do a network boot at all, as far as I can see. We use mostly 3com 905Cs, but though 3com's firmware includes PXE, it *also* includes a couple of other 3Com's own boot flavours, and PXE is NOT the default, so one must press Ctrl-Alt-B when the nic is booting fiddle with a menu and reboot to achieve PXE. > And then just flash the BIOS again?

Flash an etherboot "rom image" into your system BIOS and enable it with whatever incantation it needs. Or flash it into your NIC rom and tell the BIOS to use that. Whatever your BIOS wants to load a boot image, do it, but NOT with a rom-o-matic "PXE image". If you have a broken BIOS, that (sadly) is your problem - it's sadly all too common, nothing to do with Etherboot or LTSP, and off topic for ltsp-discuss. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek No, I will not fix your computer. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
