Gary,
There's a problem with the really old bootroms on those
cards. They don't pass the kernel parameters properly.
But, there is a way to deal with it. On the LTSP.org
contrib page, there is a document from Jason Pattie
describing how to use an older bootrom to download a
newer Etherboot image, which then will turn around and
download the kernel. Kind of a 2-phase boot loader.
That should take care of it.
