AFAIK, Etherboot does an io/irq scan automagically, there is no way to
specify a fixed io except inside the source code. Do you know to
which io/irq the cards are set? It could be that just that ports are
excluded from the scan (e.g. some 0x380 settings or so... dunno). Try
setting them to 0x300 or 0x320 (worked for me like a charm)!

It's the linux driver that does need the option-129 for specifying io
(and irq?). Apparently, your boot does not proceed so far.

BTW, you could help by specifying which etherboot version you use
(5.0.7 e.g.).

Best regards,
