Etherboot 4.2.2 released



I have put Etherboot 4.2.2 at www.slug.org.au/etherboot. There is a
patch file from 4.2.1. The MD5 sums are

fd03d0dbd29b9a06810aeabdd5bc7e84  etherboot-4.2.2.tar.bz2
1ef989250dedb8b90f1585b739bdcc62  etherboot-4.2.2.tar.gz
d5f63a3cd1fc94acda16c5aab34e06ba  patch-4.2.2.gz

The changes from 4.2.1 are:

+ Disable 3c509 after loading finished or port may be unusable.

+ Woops, forgot to up the version's last digit in the last release.

+ Stephan Bauer sent in a device ID for config.c for 21142 chip Tulips.

+ Ifdef out input overrun recovery code (it's really only needed for
NE2000s) and use SHMEM by default for 3c503s to bring the ROM size down
below 8kB.

+ Added code to start32.S to detect < 386 and exit so it doesn't hang
the computer. Doesn't print a message yet.

+ Changed README.sgml to recommend that TFTP use a separate directory
from NFS, /tftpdir. Added sample configuration file for DHCPD and caveat
about the name of the root directory when using DHCPD.

+ Revamped atnetboot.sgml: use mtools most of the time, write about a
few example applications.

+ Quick Perl script for converting bootptab to dhcpd.conf.

+ Released as Etherboot-4.2.2
