With certain network drivers the 0.9 versions of netboot seem to have
interrupt problems. Since 0.9 is still a preview version not meant for
production, you should better try the current netboot version 0.8.1 which
you can get from the netboot home page http://www.han.de/~gero/netboot or
from any Linux (formerly sunsite) mirror.
