Hello Martin,
*** This would be a question rather for the etherboot-users mailing list *** <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

If you can, set your boot priority in Bios to "Network"->"C:" - I'd expect the "local" boot of etherboot to work then. You might try to play with 5.1.8 - I don't know wether the boot_disk method used there is independent from BIOS solutions. In 5.0.x, you would still have the chance to use an "etherboot menu" - with CAN_BOOT_DISK and specifying "/dev/hda" as boot filename menu option you should be able to accomplish a dual boot. At least for us this works just fine - though I have to admit we use a self-made menu (with 320x200 logo graphics and so) and not that included with etherboot.
