If you build a relocateable image this problem will go away, as etherboot
will then live at the true top of memory.  And since you are using an
eepro100 that should not be a problem.  The e1000 and the e100 have
been both tested, with relocation, and multicasting support.

You don't have a standards compliant C setup?
I know stdint.h was introduced in something like C95 or C99 but that
was at least three years ago.

Sorry about that.  Would it be possible to setup the FreeBSD compile
so it can compile on something besides FreeBSD so these kinds of
things can at least be compile tested?
