Hi !

We have some newer systems now that have the "feature" to disable netbooting
from the bios setup. Since we considere the bios setting as insecure we'd like
to force the system to use boot prom even if bios settings disable netbooting.
 
 

If you have a Award Bios you can use cbrom tool to remove the NIC 
Code from the  bios
and add the Etherboot code.   For me this works well with
Asus NLX boards.
Be shure to use the right version of cbrom - best 2.04.
