Re: PXE Boot Disks

<<Anyone know of any free PXE emulation boot floppies? I mean like one that
boots up, finds the network adapter and then loads the image that DHCP says
to, like normal PXE boot roms would. I know of one by Argo that isnt free
and one by MS that only supports PCI cards.
I need one that supports PCMCIA and ISA cards. Although any free
implementation would be good for a look at this stage.>>

I use a tiny DOS instance with an Etherboot image from rom-o-matic.  In fact
lately we sometimes use a Windows 98 boot disk with an adapted autoexec.bat
which tells it to point to the etherboot.exe file.  I'm not sure if these
support ISA/PCMCIA though.  Isn't that down to the Linux kernel you create
which is downloaded to the client, rather than the boot image? [just a
guess]
