Hi Jim,
What about trying this.
Get boot.ini to load DOS, then let DOS run a batch file that calls the
etherboot image.
That's how it works when you use a floppy.
You'll need command.com and an autoexec.bat file on the DOS partition.
So your boot.ini line should look something like
F:\command.com="LTSP"
Your autoexec.bat file will look something like
eb-5.0.8-rtl8029.com
See how that goes.
Cheers,
Bert
