Only if you use 3Com's own "bootware", which is what they do out of the
box. I wouldn't recommend using this unless e.g. it's physically not
possible to configure all the NICs in a large cluster. Even so one could
boot a imggened kernel with an initrd containing cromutil to flash EB
into all the nics.

For some reason 3Com regard imggen as proprietary, and won't tell anyone
what the format is, though I'm sure it's not rocket science. It occurs
to me that it should be possible to "imggen" Etherboot. Anyone tried,
maybe with a LILO image?

Anyway, flash Etherboot if you can, or use Ctrl-Alt-B and select the PXE
boot method if you can't. Use imggen if you are desperate.
