Looks as though Ken's external bootmenu method will do what you want as
well, and is more elegant than using bootmenu code inside the EPROM.
You still might be interested in the etherboot.m4 file from jumpwire; it
provides a nice, easy way to generate ANSI sequences and DHCP option files
(that can be loaded via TFTP using the extensions-path option).

Not quite.  We know it is possible.  For a long time, we had it marked as
"under development" on the site and no-one expressed an interest.  Even
now that it is not explicitly marked as "under development", we still
haven't had anyone actually wanting to buy one.  When they do, we'll get
it working. :-)

For our uses, we only need dual X; it doesn't matter if only one of the
"heads" can be used outside of X since our customers will never use them
in this way.
