I'm not a C programmer, and it's been over a decade since I did any low level programming (I programmed in 65C02 assembler on an Apple //e), so I'm trying to avoid any kernel compiling or anything similar.
I'm having trouble setting up my system for netboot. It's based on an Asus mobo (TUSI-M), which has a NIC built in. The NIC is an SIS900 chipset, but there's no place for a boot ROM. I understand the SIS9000 supposedly includes an eeprom I could flash, but I'm not sure if I can flash the NIC eeprom without flashing the system BIOS. Even though this system has a netboot setting (I can set Other Boot Devices to "INT18 Device (Network)"), it does NOT do a netboot (the logs on the server show NO communication from the client). This is one of many systems I'll have to set up, and they all come without floppy and CD-ROM. So I have 2 questions regarding this system setup: 1) What is the "INT18" in the boot devices, and is it supposed to be able to do a netboot, or do I have to do something else with it? 2) Does the LTSP kernel include SCSI or USB support already compiled in? If so, I was considering trying to boot from a USB Zip disk and loading a minimal configuration from the Zip, and I was hoping the LTSP kernal would work for this. Thanks for any suggestions.
