Re: Trying to flash award bios in Soyo LI-7000

Alexander,

I don't believe it.  That actually worked!!!

I added the rtl8139.rom module to the award bios
using:

   cbrom6 7iwlnet.bin /pci rtl8139.rom

Then I flashed it into the motherboard.

Then I ran a RTL8139 setup program that I had for
another card.  It recognized that there was an rtl8139
and I enabled the bootrom and said it was 16k.

I then rebooted the machine and it found the etherboot
module and booted.

This is a beautiful thing.

Thank very much for replying with that answer.
