I got a couple boot proms for an Intel PRO100 care from www.incom.de. Set up my trusty tftp/bootp stuff, card boots a DOS diskette image remotely just fine. So then I try a 2.8MB DOS image. Works fine. Put fbsdboot.exe and /kernel on the image. Boots the DOS part fine, but fbsdboot.exe won't work. So then I try a kernel.flp diskette from 3.1-stable. It loads the kernel floppy fine via TFTP, but then can't start the actual boot process, failing with a "Read Error". This PROM boots a SolariS X86 floppy remotely fine. It boots Linux floppies fine, it boots DOS floppies fine, but it won't boot our FreeBSD blocks. It will not boot a 2.2.8 floppy set of boot blocks either. Any ideas much appreciated. I'd really like to remote boot these, and getting this working would be great for supporting a whole bunches of cards and remote boot, since the incom people make PROM's for something like 100+ cards... I would be willing to send a card and PROM to somebody to play with if it would help...
