Ok I'll made a generic fai boot floppy for the BOOTP protocol. It's
available at

http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download/fai-bootfloppy-BOOTP.bin

download this file and use dd to put it on a 1.44MB floppy disk. Then
try to boot you computer. You can also mount (mount /dev/fd0 /mnt)
this floppy and change the /mnt/etc/lilo.conf (rerun lilo) if you like to
change some parameters, but you need not. Let me hear your experience. 

I'm on vacation for one week, so new mails from me will be delayed.
