Hello! In <http://www.han.de/~gero/netboot/archive/msg01718.html> I wrote what I did know about futil and fboot then. It is about the same as Martys instructions, but I have a few comments now. > Then, see how large it is, with an "ls -l eepro100.rom". the answer will > probably be 16,384. You need to pad it with hex FFs to make it 64K for > FBOOT. I used the following two lines to create the flash image file. > $ perl -e 'print "\xFF" x 49152' > 48kpad.bin > $ cat eepro100.rom 48kpad.bin > 2794FC60.FLS It worked for me without any padding. When I burned a smaller image the program printed 50% instead of 100% and then it stopped. Everything worked anyway. I also did a brutal way of install etherboot or netboot on a EEPRO100+Mng without creating a file of type "2794FC60.FLS" for every card. It was necessary for me when I installed 70 clients... I chopped the binary file fboot.exe (my version was 99811 bytes, I don't remember the version name) in three parts: fboot1 30096 bytes fboot2 65536 bytes fboot3 4179 bytes Then you cat put them together again, but with a different part 2 and save it as fbootown.exe and execute it. It worked for me anyway. Of course you have to use padding to get a 64k part instead of fboot2. /Erik S ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Erik Starbäck, System administrator E-mail address: erik@math.uu.se Uppsala University Telephone (o): +46 18 4713277 Department of Mathematics Cellular phone: +46 70 4250260 P.
