-DEMERGENCYDISKBOOT does not work

[Heinrich Rebehn <rebehn@comm.uni-bremen.de>]

Hi,

for some reason, -DEMERGENCYDISKBOOT does not work in my setup.
I use etherboot 4.2.13.
When i unplug the network cable, etherboot eventually displays
"Transmission timeout" but does not boot from disk.
I think the purpose of -DEMERGENCYDISKBOOT is to have the pc bootable if
the network is down or am i wrong?

BTW, netboot offers the option of interrupting the betboot process with
ESC, which i really like.

But since i have troubles with some older 3C905B-TX, i have to stick
with etherboot..

Greetings,
