Re: [Etherboot-developers] Is it possible to hardwire paths to kernel&root?

You'd have to hack the code yourself to make it use a hardwired tftp IP
address, it's not as simple as changing one line.  It's not a change I'm
interested in, so you're on your own.  The fallback kernel path is
controlled by a #define.

Why not?
