etherboot-4.6.2 vs 4.7.20 w/ BOOTP question




Hello,

I am trying to use BOOTP.  With etherboot-4.6.2
I created a floppy with the command:

cat floppyload.bin bin32/eepro100.lzrom > /dev/fd0

This floppy worked GREAT.  The system came up with
the message:

Searching for server (BOOTP)


However, with etherboot-4.7.20, the file floppyload.bin
was not created.  I tried to create a floppy with:

cat bin/boot1a.bin bin32/eepro100.lzrom > dev/fd0

But when I boot with this floppy, the system
comes up with:

Searching for server (DHCP)
                      ^^^^
And then my network boot fails with:

BOOTP record too large.


Is there a way I can use etherboot-4.7.20 and
create a floppy which tries BOOTP instead of DHCP?

Thanks in advance,
Joe Griffin
