when your NIC comes up, push <whatever-it-takes> (maybe <Ctrl-Alt-B>) to
get into your NICs setup menu. Switch boot method to "PXE" and use
syslinux aka pxelinux [0] to boot your client.

You only have to use netboot to build your own boot EPROMS to put onto
your NIC (network interface card). Since the bootprom already comes with
your card (Lanworks provides it), you need something that your bootprom is
able to load.

Hope this helps,
Jens
