Thx: We're searching for a vmlinuz and initrd for a netboot

Hi Bao and nb,

We didn't have any good vmlinuz.di and initrd.gz so we
used those who nb gave us : linux.bf2 and root.bf2

With pxelinux.cfg :
label linux
   kernel linux.bf2
   append initrd=3Droot.bf2 vga=3D788 devfs=3Dmount
ramdisk-size=3D8192 root=3D/dev/ram0
   ipappend 1

The installation was successfull,
We think that our problems came from :
- wrong kernel and initrd ;
- vga=3Dnormal makes unstable display ;
- root=3D/dev/rd/0 in stead of root=3D/dev/ram0 ;
- we didn't have introduce the ipappend 1.

Thanks a lot for all the help,
