Had a fun weekend ! Managed to Flash 2 built in Nics. One was a Shuttle S40G Socket A with Realtek 8139, and a Via Rhine II in a Via socket 754 board.
The bios on the Shuttle is only 256kb and 55.5kb was the Maximum size that I could replace the original PCI ether lom with. I wasn't sure what to strip with rom-o-matic , but if I remember correctly it was all the wireless, sans boot, iscsi, comboot and Multiboot. I left HTTPS selected on both boards, this might have increased the size. I still havn't got around to HTTPS on my setup yet. My basic setup is /var/www/slitaz/ directory with the kernel, initrd there. This is super easy to extract from the iso and use for testing. It's a little richer than Tinycore , but that works well to. Results The Shuttle box booted and kept the internet connection . The startup ip was 192.168.0.20 and it retained that ip and could connect to to the net from the server . The Slitaz network config tool gave it 192.168.0.6 route 192.168.0.1 dns 192.168.0.1 , but it works. The Via board with the Via Rhine II nic can't connect to the net or ping anything after booting. I tried to re-assign the 192.168.0.28 ip from the gpxe config settings , but it doesn't activate. I'm thinking some hardware like USB or X kicks out the IP info . Or the router has some left over management rules , unlikely . The Intel 1000 nic did the same thing in the Via tower, couldn't retain a connection to the net. Or else it's something with the server . I used that latest 1.0.1 sources for the Rom-O-Matic Roms. One again Great Project Looking forward to trying HTTPS next.
