Looking at the options:

-DASK_BOOT=3 
-DANS_DEFAULT=ANS_NETWORK 
-DMOTD 
-DIMAGE_MENU 
-DCONGESTED
-DBACKOFF_LIMIT=7 
-DTRY_FLOPPY_FIRST=0 
-DTAGGED_IMAGE 
-DELF_IMAGE
-DDOWNLOAD_PROTO_TFTP 
-DCOMCONSOLE=0x3F8 
-DCONSPEED=9600 
-DCOMPARM=0x03
-DPCBIOS


This is a request for an ELF format etherboot that has PCBIOS support.
This should work on the development branch.  But it does not/can not
work on the stable branch.

Something like:

-DASK_BOOT=3 
-DANS_DEFAULT=ANS_NETWORK 
-DCONGESTED
-DBACKOFF_LIMIT=7 
-DELF_IMAGE
-DDOWNLOAD_PROTO_TFTP 
-DCONSOLE_SERIAL
-DCOMCONSOLE=0x3F8 
-DCONSPEED=9600 
-DCOMPARM=0x03
-DCONFIG_TSC_CURRTICKS  
-DCONFIG_PCI_DIRECT
-DLINUXBIOS

Should work,  I have not tested this configuration but it should
be quite close.

I am about to go break the developer version again....
