Re: Netboot/mknbi-dos problems

Ken,

    Thanks for your quick response. I found a machine here that has a BootP
ROM. It is on an AMD PCI PCnet v 1.0 Ethernet card. On start-up it also
mentions that it is a BootWare Network Boot ROM.
    When I try a remote boot on this machine with MS-DOS, the client gets
the IP address and downloads "dos.nb" fine, but then displays two lines of
garbage. I have also tried it with an IBM-DOS image, and in this case it
gives me a "File too long" error. In both of these cases I have verified the
image and tagged image. Any thoughts?

Reid
