[Netboot-general] Problem Netbooting 3c589

[ED <ed...@am...>]

Network card is Etherlink III PC CARD

Problems with  Boot Prom 3c589.com

Hey All,

Been trying to get Netboot going on an older laptop here.  The laptop can
no longer see its hardrive, ohterwise still works fine.  I was hoping to
use netboot to turn it into a nice portable X-Terminal.

First
Has anyone experiance with this card?  It seems as though others have got
it to work, but still a little unsure.

 My problem is with the packet driver.  I am using 3c589.com which came
 with the card install disk.  Diagnostics on the card show it at I/o 300h
 and INT 10.

 I don't know how to pass this info to netboot.  When the startup disk
 boots.  I get two messages, one is LSL not started.  That comes from the
 packet driver direct, either with the netboot disk or straight from dos.
 The other message is Packet driver error: no INT.

 I know I need to tell NETBOOT the interupt and the IO address but dont
 know the command line format.  I understand this should be whatever I
 would tell the packet driver under dos but can find no documentation of
 this.  And I dont see this message when I start the 3c589.com from dos.

 I am not even completly sure this is a packet driver.  Anywone got
 any clues.

 Thanks for anyhelp,

 First time Netbooter,

 ED
