Re: [Etherboot-users] Thinclient with hardwired IP

[Igor M. <i.m...@sw...>]

Hello,

May be it not exactly what you want, but you could try to use grub (in=20
interactive mode). I just checked it with grub boot floppy and QNX 6.3.0 =
ELF=20
Multiboot OS images:

* boot from floppy with grub (grub was compilled with network support and=
 with=20
RTL8139 support too);

Further in the grub prompt:
 > ifconfig --address=3Dws_ip_address --server=3Dtftp_server_ip_address
 > root (nd)
 > kernel /tftpboot/qnx630_elf.nfs-rtl8139.ifs
 > boot

Of course you could boot Linux OS images too, I just don't have it ready =
at=20
hand. You could try to preconfigure grub to yours preferable networks set=
tings=20
too (see grub manual for details)...

Regards,
Igor.
