[Clonezilla-server-edition] Clonezilla Server Edition BNX firmware

[Grégoire L. <lup...@gm...>]

Hi,

I try to use Clonezilla Server edition with Debian Lenny (server and
client). My clients have a Broadcom NIC, so the firmware is not supplied by
the tftp server. I can boot by PXE and access to the grub-like interface,
but at the system starting, I've firmware related errors (the classical
error which says it doesn't find the firmware), and I get the busybox.

I tried to use /opt/drbl/sbin/mknic-nbi -if without success.

/tftpboot/node_root # find . | grep bnx
./lib/firmware/bnx2-06-4.0.5.fw

I don't see how to resolve this problem.
