I have a cluster of machines that I need to boot over pxe, but cannot due t=
o the fact that they are running linuxbios and etherboot 5.1.7. Is there a =
way to boot an elf that is compatible with etherboot 5.1.7 that would then =
allow me to boot the pxe image? I know that etherboot starting with version=
 5.4 supported booting over pxe.
