Hm, when we add our etherboot code to the BIOS it works independent of any BIOS setting. The BIOS routine is searching for adaptor rom and executes the code after running itself. Did you replace existing netboot code in the original bios file? If you add an EPROM on the network adaptor it should be completly independent of bios settings.
