[Etherboot-users] DiskOnChip issues.

[Yishai P. <yi...@ca...>]

Hi all,

I have a working, tested LTSP server. My workstations are have an onboard 
RTL8139 network card. In all the succesfull tests I used floppy drive with 
floppy loadable ehterboot images to boot the workstations. 

Now I wish to use the slot on the motherboard to boot from a DiskOnChip. I 
realized that etherboot (even when loaded from a floppy) hangs after the first 
two line message, if and only if the DOC firmware was loaded, i.e. when DOC is 
mapped somewhere into the RAM. 

So I tried (quite naively, I'd say...) to write the .lzrom image directly into 
the DOC (instead of the current firmware), but then I get the bios message, "NO 
BOOT DEVICE...".

Has anyone experienced such problems? Does anyone know where I can find 
documented experience in booting from DOC?

Thanks,

Yishai Pinchover
