Re: Booting a Linux-System with a 3c905C-TX-M ...

Peter,

There are 2 ways of doing this that I know of.

1)  Replace the bootware code that is currently in the flash ram of the
    card with Etherboot or netboot.

2)  Send email to Conrad Lawes of 3Com (conrad_lawes@3com.com) and ask
him
    for the info on booting linux with the bootware code that is already
    on the card.

Good luck,
Jim McQuillan
