I can't get masq to work.



Hello!

I asked a couple of days ago how to put the etherboot or netboot boot code
on a hard disk. I didn't get any answer, but I realised that the program
masq will solve my problem.

But I can't get it work!

With etherboot-4.0 I did "make 3c509.com" then I changed DOS_COM and
LINUXSRC in ~/etherboot-4.0/contrib/obsolete/masq/Makefile. 
DOS_COM  = ../../../src-32/3c509.com 
LINUXSRC = /home/erik/linux, and this is a 1.2.13 kernel which will work
according masq documentation.

when I run make I get error:

Non-GCC header of 'system'
make: *** [netImage] Error 1

And the problem seems to be with the line:

/home/erik/linux/arch/i386/boot/tools/build
/home/erik/linux/arch/i386/boot/bootsect netsetup netkernel > netImage

I use GCC 2.7.2.3

The only way to netboot this strange machine right now is to create a
minimal dos-partition, and run 3c509.com from autoexec.bat! I would prefer
that my linux-machines did't write "starting MS-DOS" when they boot :-)

Thanks in advance
