Hi, The BIOS can boot the ehterboot now. The problem may be some bugs in the BIOS. I configured Etherboot to be second bootable item and floppy as the first bootable item, if there's floppy disk in the driver, even it's not a bootable disk, the BIOS will not continue to boot from the second one, when it find that the floppy disk can't boot, it just report error and exit I really appreciate Marty and Timothy's kind help.
