No. The netboot.com is just beepbeepbeep until I push reset. What is wrong? What does this beep mean, do you have any idea? Should netboot show some progress display on the screen? I am getting nothing, only this beep, could it be a problem with the display card? The Ethernet card should be OK. It is SMC Ultra and it is tested in DOS and Linux.
