[Etherboot-developers] 3Com 3C905B and fix

[Michael H. <m.h...@so...>]

Hello!

I tried to use etherboot 5.0.5 with 3C905B (the one with buggy Lucent
chipset).
From disk all went fine. Booting a tagged DOS disk with microsoft network
client worked.

After flashing to eeprom first no bootrom is seen. Rom-Scan detect those
weird rom-images (buggy multiplexing problem...).

After apply of bootrom-fix rom is seen and booting, but DOS fails during
netbind with error 36, hardware failure (booting from disk drive brings up
the same behaviour).

In 3c90x.txt is a mention of setting the romsize with 3c90xcfg.exe, but I
can´t find those option. Also writing romsize (128k, AT29C010) directly
to InternalConfig did not change anything.

Thank`s in advance
