Re: Netboot/mknbi-dos problems

Hi,

    Thanks again for your response. I contacted 3Com (who now owns LanWorks,
who made the BootWare BootP ROM I have) and was able to resolve my
questions.
    For future reference, the BootWare ROMs need a package from 3Com that
includes a program called imagegen.exe (DOS/Windoze). This program makes the
proper image format for the BootWare ROMs. Once I got this program I was
able to get a remote boot the first try. Now if I could only find a NFS
client for MS-DOS 6.22 that is compatible with IBM's TCP/IP 2.1.1...
    Thanks again for your help and I would be happy to provide more details
for anyone who needs them.

Reid
