Hello, I need your assistance with this configuration: I have a pentium 60 with 16 MB of ram, a video card, a 3c905c and nothing else (no disk, no floppy, otherwise I wouldn't be here asking) I've tried to set up a suitable kernel with "bin00013.bin" (cat bin00013.bin bzImage > vmlinuz.net), but when the card has finished downloading the kernel from the dhcp/tftp server, it just locks up beeping and flooding the screen with garbage. I've tried to set up a bpbatch script, but it seems that bpbatch is geared towards a set of machine _with_ a HD, not totally diskless setups. What I'm asking you? If you are able to boot a totally diskless machine with a 3c905c card using either a modified kernel image or bpbatch, please pass me a full step-by-step instruction. I could not understand the existing docs myself. I would rather not flash away the content of the 3c905c eeprom to replace it with etherboot (which I know someone has successfully done), because I'm not at all confident with all the necessary steps and I fear I could irreparably damage the card. Thanks for your time.
