Hello Chambard,

CO> Hello,
CO> I have one of my workstations with isa card and I manage to boot with 
CO> option-128 and option-129.
CO> Without option-128 as present in lts.conf.example, the boot is not 
CO> possible. The two options seem to be necessary.
CO> Could anyone explain me what option-128 is for? Just to understand.

Option 128 is a reserved word (something like e4:5f:blahblah:00). It
tells Etherboot images that they should as well look for option 129
(kernel parameters to be passed to the vmlinuz-image)
and option 172 through 184 (or so) which in former releases were
dedicated to boot menu and boot screen layout data.

If interested in boot-menus, you wouldn't use them anymore as there is
the external menu option (which is more sensible to configure IMHO).

It's documented, you could look it up in one of the files under
www.etherboot.org -> Documentation.

Best regards,
 Anselm                            mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
