Hi All;
I think I am understanding this now. Since I am using bootware ROM and not
etherboot the option 128 /129 stuff does not get parsed by the boot ROM as
kernel parameters. So How do I get around this?

Help My nic has fallen and can't get up
10/15/2004 10:38 AM
Hi All;
I am pulling my hair out and I really can't afford to. I am getting the
"could not detect the network card ... option-129" error message. This is
after the boot, dhcp and the kernel copies down and the Linux load begins.
My hardware is a 386 sx 16 megs of ram and a ISA 8013ewc network card with
a lanworks boot ROM. In the boot ROM setup I configured:
bootp/arp.
irq 10
io base 300
ram base cc00 (IS THERE A KEYWORD FOR THIS???)
So I setup in dhcpd.conf the option 128/129 stuff in dhcpd.conf. The under
the nic name 'smc-ultra' and as well 'wd'.
Here is my dhcpd.conf file (ws001 is a machine from this century and loads
btw):
