[Etherboot-developers] e1000 and etherboot menu

[Hans-Peter J. <hp...@ur...>]

Hi,

today I finally got some PRO/1000 MT Desktop NICs, but now I'm in 
trouble. These NICs carry a 82540EM (PCI ID: 0x8086/0x100E) which is 
only supported by the current development version, which unfortunately 
has the menuing stuff removed. 

If I cannot flash etherboot on the NIC, I normally use a pxe target to 
load etherboot (dhcp filename), which in turn presents the menu and 
loads the default kernel.

What is the prefered way to mimic this behaviour in the development 
series?
