error message: cannot load bootblock from disk, I'm puzzled

[Bartlomiej Jarocki <bartek@itam.zabrze.pl>]

Hello

I tried netbooting before with some success - I managed to download
kernel (with netboot.0.7.x I think) but it stopped at loading VFS root
filesystem.

In the meantime I upgraded my server software (to Redhat6.0 with 2.2.5
kernel) and also downloaded new netboot 0.9 - unfortunatelly its floppy
bootroms didnt work with my dc21143 cards - I guess it hanged with them,
with 3c509b it seemed to work by bootpd/dhcpd servers were deaf to its
requests.

So I "downgraded" to 0.8.1 and its floppy bootrom has communicated with
both dhcpd and bootpd server, displayed right bootImage location and
local/server IP but then stopped with "cannot load bootblock from disk,
insert boot disk and press any key". I expected it will start
downloading bootImage via TFTP, I have my tftpd demon running so I'm
puzzled at this point.

Please help

Bartek.
