Error while floppy netbooting with ieepro100+




	Once corrected the PCI header offset byte (see previous 
message about correcting ~netboot/makerom/user.c) all seems to be much
more beautiful.

Then if you burn the flash with the image.rom it doesn't find a valid
operating system (mess: Operating System not found). Ohhh.
I think the bios find the rom and knows that it is a boot device (Bios
says: "System Configuration Data Updated" once detected HD, -without
changing ~netboot/makerom/user.c it would begin to beep and no message 
printed- ).

If you run romcheck 0.9:

	1) if you made a bootrom for a processor older than 386 says that
	the rom has 32KB length.

	2) if you made a bootrom for a processor newer than 386 says that
	the rom has 4KB length. 

	No netboot rom is found and the PnP header is identified ok but no
	vendor/device id is readed in both cases.

Then if you try to boot with a floppy, made from the same parameters and
Netboot (now!) gets control, the packet driver (e100bpkt.com) gets loaded
and locate the NIC but then netboot prompts an error:

	BOOTP: udp_open error 62 

	Network boot failed - press any key to continue 

Any hints??

	Omar.
