Netboot Bugfix-Version



Hello,

due to the recent reports I have released a bugfix version of netboot, which
is version 0.6.1 and which you can get from the netboot home page
http://www.han.de/~gero/netboot, or soon from sunsite.unc.edu. It fixes
the following problems:

  -  mknbi-dos didn't recognize block special devices -> fixed now
  -  the BOOTP timeout was too short -> the minimum is now 4 seconds
  -  BOOTP now never terminates trying, so you have to manually interrupt it
     with ESC
  -  fixed a bug in the random number generator which prevented BOOTP from
     correctly increasing the timeout
  -  a compilation problem with the bootrom has been fixed

gero.
