Most companies, that sell BOOT-Proms require some proprietary
protocoll for booting the operating system. This means, that it is
usually not possible to boot Linux with these Proms. Most likely you
will be able to boot some kind of DOS. If you are lucky, they also
support Win95. If you are *very* lucky, then they support WinNT.
