Re: netboot-0.8.1 does not receive bootImage

[shyams <shyam.prakash@tatainfotech.com>]

hai
see whether u have kept the boot image in the /tftpboot directory.also
configure the same in the /etc/bootptab.
check with the compilation and configuration of netbootrom.u have to load
the image.flo into the floppy by giving the command
dd if=image.flo of=/dev/fd0.

In case it is not the solution please explain the errors u'r getting.
