Hi Mark,

What NIC are you using that is not supported?

NBI support is available in gPXE.  Have you tried booting your image
with gPXE?


http://rom-o-matic.net/gpxe/gpxe-git/gpxe.git/contrib/rom-o-matic/build.php

Just choose your image format and press "Get Image"

If you would like to discuss possibly funding development for an
unsupported NIC, please feel free to email me off-list, and I'll be
happy to discuss it with you.

Regards,

Marty
