I've already prepared a multi-driver network boot floppy. You can look at http://thinstation.sourceforge.net/download.html in the "contribs". For the EB developers: perhaps my boot-floppy is useful for more than one people.... please consider showing a link to it from somewhere in the etherboot web site or from rom-o-matic.... bye!
