I looked at all the files that you sent me, and you seem to run into a
known problem with 3c503 cards. First of all, it only maps 8kB. So you
will probably have to use a compressed image file (*.lzrom). Secondly,
regardless of what you put into the EPROM, the last two bytes will
always be mapped as 0x8080. Passing the -3 option to makerom takes
these things into account. The 3c503.lzrom image that comes with
etherboot-4.0 has already been suitably modified.
