Colin, What type of Gibabit Ethernet Nic are you using? Does it support PXE booting?
I have embeded Broadcom NICS and had to build a kernel that supported it. I swapped it with the default kernel in tftpboot and then everything worked fine. The catch is, the support has to be built in, as the boot disk doesn't seem to be built to support modules. The replacement kernel could likely be added to the floppy or CD image if necessary. Installing/Reinstalling via GBE is well worth the trouble. Regards!

DHCPDISCOVER error. Disabled them, then boot from floppies during client installed worked for the 100Mbit cards. We learned this from collaborators who encountered the same problem. Might want to mention this in your FAQ. -- Colin Morningstar, Asst.
