Hi all there,
to boot from a network card with network ROM conforming to the Intel
PXE specification (e.g. EtherExpress Pro 100) you can't use the
netboot image. Instead you have to use a pxelinux image, which
requires a special tftp daemon and a DHCP daemon. I think most things
are described in /usr/share/doc/syslinux/pxelinux.doc.gz
A precomiled tftpd daemon (incom tftpd) is also availabe at:

Maybe someone can try this and make a summary. Currently I have no
time to test it by myself.
