I believe the Linux Terminal Server Project lists a couple of resources on their web site. Among other things, there is a link to some company that sells pre-burned EPROMs (I believe, the company that I saw, only burns etherboot; there might be others that also do netboot images). All you need do, is let the vendor know which NIC(s) you have. I believe, the EPROMs are pretty reasonably priced (i.e. ~$15). These days, there is a very good chance, that any card that you might have is supported by etherboot. I am sorry that I cannot give any URL, because I am currently somewhat limited in my net access and cannot browse the web until I am done reinstalling my Dad's old Pentium 60 -- this should be done in a few hours or so ;-) If you just want to try out diskless booting without all the trouble of burning an EPROM (or flashing the FlashProm if your card comes with one), then you can always boot the image from floppy. Go to Marty's excellent http://www.rom-o-matic.net and download a suitable image.
