Hi Bob,

I'm trying just the same, booting linux with eepro, but gets always a tftp
error "too many packages".  How do you proceed with the files? I have a
initrd-image, which runs well when it's on a flashdisk. I also have a kernel
which runs well from the flashdisk. Now I mknbi-ed this 2 files and get one
bootimage of about 3.7 Mb size. Is all this correct, or do I have forgotten
something?

Best regards
Bernd Stahlbock
