I have incorporated the fixes sent to me since 4.0 was released. You can get the sources at www.slug.org.au/etherboot/etherboot-4.1pre1.tar.bz2 Note: a bzip2 file, not gzip. There are no new features, only bug fixes so please don't treat this as a stable release. Could testers please verify the following: 1. Answering N to Boot from network? allows disk booting of Windoze. 2. The eepro100b driver autoprobes correctly. I have added code to try to identify the NIC with the ROM mounted so for PCI NICs please report the first couple of lines printed out after activation, which should be something like: ROM segment 0x%x length 0x%x Found %s at 0x%x, ROM address 0x%X The first line will print the right address only when run from a ROM of course. Here are the changes incorporated: + Patches by Andrew Coulthurst for eepro100b. + Patches by Doug Ambrisko for booting Windows95 after answering N to the boot from network question. Added conditional code to cope with broken DHCP server and TAG 128. + Put version and driver identifier at end of ROM image if it fits, to help identify ROMs in future. + Capture ROM segment address and length to help choose between multiple NICs later. + Don't clear all of memory because it will destroy return address on stack.
