So... does anyone know where I can find a reference to which network
cards are supported for network boot? I have all the common cards
like NE2000s, 3C509s, 8013s, etc., and a few PCI cards. I even have
a card in there now with a DEC 21143-PA chip, but the ROMs don't seem
to like it. Alternatively, in a similar vein to what someone else
recently requested for their Multia, can someone on the list make a
raw disk image I can "dd" onto a blank floppy? The Unix technique
on the HP webpage requires a Digital Unix binary program to convert
the firmare utility file to some other format and I can't do it from
Linux or Solaris.
I have a PCI 10mbit card I'll loan you... it's a 21042, IIRC, but it
came out of an Aspen Alpine, and oughta netboot on any DEC board.
Or, fact is, installing Tru64 on the PWS is one of the "if I ever get
home" priority projects. If nobody makes you a dd image in two weeks,
remind me.
