Netboot doesn't have a "setup.s" file.  There's a "setup.c" is
that what you mean?  I looked at the diff between 0.8.1 and 0.9.3
for setup.c but don't see anything which looks obvious to me
as causing the problem.

Oh.  I seem to remember some fix which was only in 0.9.3 about netboot
sometimes not working (race condition).  I'd rather run 0.9.3.

Your english is fine, I just can't find a "setup.s" in the netboot source.

Perhaps I'll try comparing the bootrom source between 0.8.1 and 0.9.3.

PS: I did find a thread on the mailing list about booting Intel
    cards from rom.  I'm booting off of floppy, not rom so that doesn't
    apply.
