Just curious, did you manage to boot from an eprom with 100Mbit
cards ? Last time I tried this was only possible with 10Mbit cards,
except the obvious option (one 10-mbit card with the boot rom, one
100-mbit which supports the real traffic).

what I have is a script which clones the root partition by making a
small set of changes and symlinks where needed.
