the ROM code from the hard disk, and an improved "tulip" driver. Also make boot over NFS the default method. This is seems to me more flexible in that NFS is often required for diskless configurations, and gives slightly better control than TFTPD on who is allowed to access the server.

This code was originaly from FreeBSD and then the Linux folks greatly
|
|
enhanced its functionality and capabilities. It produces ROM-able
|
|
code to boot ELF/aout kernels over NFS or TFTP. It also includes
|
|
boot loaders to load the ROM images from raw floppy or hard disks,
|
|
or DOS disks.
|
|
|
|
There are different ROM images for different network cards
|
|
(many are supported). They are built in work/etherboot/src/bin32.
|
|
|
|
Edit "Config" in work/etherboot/src directory for more features,
|
|
default is to boot ELF kernels over NFS.
|
|
|
|
To make a floppy image do
|
|
cd work/etherboot/src ; gmake bin32/<device.fd0
|
|
.COM images are made via gmake bin32/<device type>.com .
