[Etherboot-developers] .ebi and .elf formats

[Marty C. <md...@et...>]

I'm working on fixing defaults for LinuxBIOS Etherboot formats on 
rom-o-matic.net, and need some clarification on what .ebi and .elf 
formats are. As far as I can tell, the .ebi format is not used anymore 
and can be removed in 5.0.7, 5.0.8, and 5.1.3. The only reference to 
.ebi is in the "make clean" section in 5.0.7 and .8, so I'm pretty sure 
.ebi is gone.

Am I correct in thinking .elf is now the interesting format for 
LinuxBIOS support?

Next question, is it the case that LinuxBIOS support works only with 
PCI NICs? I seem to recall this, and so far I only seem to be able to 
build a .elf with eepro100 selected.  Is this correct?  How could I 
determine which NICs I could make .elf images with?

Thanks for the help,

Marty
