For who need to boot Etherboot from a .com file, e.g. from Syslinux or Disk on Chip, I whipped up a quick header program. Extract the following tar file in etherboot-4.4.4/, then you can say make ne.com. It will not work in the presence of extended memory managers and that sort of thing, you need a clean machine in real mode, which is why I resisted implementing this for a while. Let me know how it goes. This will be in 4.4.5.
