Thanks, problem solved, I now got a menu and the station did boot a diskless windoze 98 ;-) (see my posting at http://www.geocrawler.com/lists/3/SourceForge/5299/0/8052616/ ...)
BTW I would like to enhance the menu with ANSI EDC sequences, but I
didn't figure out how to input the ESC char in my config file ...
Cheers
