I've updated http://rom-o-matic.net to have the latest development
version of Etherboot, 4.7.16.
If you can, please try out this version and report results to the list of
your choice. This version has some major internal changes that will
light the way to a brighter network booting future.
Please note that if you choose "Floppy Bootable ROM Image" as your output
format, it already has "floppyload.bin" prepended to it, so you can just
do:
cat somerom.lzfdimg > /dev/fd0
(or you can use dd or rawrite (from dos)).
If you choose the "Binary ROM Image" you still need to do:
cat floppyload.bin somerom.lzrom > /dev/fd0
If you're at LinuxWorld Expo New York (Jan 30 - Feb 2, 2001), please stop
by the Etherboot Project booth (.org #6) and say hello. Also, please
attend Jim McQuillan's excellent talk on LTSP and the "Birds of a
Feather" (BOF) session on thin clients.
