Does anyone want the patches ? Hi Andy, Send me the patches, I will look at them. It's a bit too late for 4.0 which I'm releasing tomorrow, but I will put the patches on the Web site. >Can anyone explain the aim behind the etherboot-4.0 source ?

Anyway the patches just fudge the whole thing >for a single card. The PCI routines are supposed to return the I/O address of the NIC and these are passed in a zero terminated array of shorts to the NIC probing routine. Normally there is only one candidate on the list, and you pass an array consisting of one address, then one zero. With multiple cards it gets trickier. I haven't thought about what would be the right way to select the right card to boot. If you have any ideas, please put them forward. Ken
