Is it a fact, that the mknbi-ed kernel is downloadable only with a special Bootprom with
the Netboot code in it?
What's the use, if manufacturers do already have tftp-clients implemented in the
Board-Bios, like the Intel PXE Architecture?

Can somebody tell me, how the kernel and ramdisk image is to be prepared for downloading
with a Client with PXE-2.0 compliant Bios? I would really appreciate any help.


Thanks

Bernd
