Hi May be Iam wrong, Upto my knowledge if we enable PXE it will Load kernel by reading the ROM image in BIOS only, if it is etherboot it will read ROM image from a floppy or any ROM chip on your card, ofcourse both will load kernel from ethernet network. I put the ROM image in my BIOS and enable PXE in its settings, so there is no need for me to use floppy or ROM chip in my N/W card. Thanks Vamsi
