It works!


Changes in config/configure.h:

reno{rebehn} 57:  diff netboot-0.6.1/config/configure.in
netboot-0.6.1-orig/config/configure.in
50,52d49
< AC_ARG_ENABLE(mknbi-blkdev, [  --disable-mknbi-blkdev disable
compiling mknbi-blkdev (default=enabled)],
<       [if test "$enableval" = "yes"; then SUBDIRS="$SUBDIRS
mknbi-blkdev"; fi],
<       [SUBDIRS="$SUBDIRS mknbi-blkdev"])
232d228
<       mknbi-blkdev/Makefile

Also, I deleted the definitions for i_addr and i_long in
mknbi-blkdev/mknbi.h because they were already included
from common.h.


Yet one question: If the bootp server becomes unavailable,
how can i achieve that the bootprom falls back to booting
from floppy/hard disk (The "normal" boot sequence) instead
of waiting indefinitely?

Thanks for your help
