Yes, this info is valid for etherboot 5.0.7 (up to 5.0.11),

How is the menuing done with 5.2.0?
For now I am using 5.0.7.

When getting the ROM-image from www.rom-o-matic.net I used as said above
5.0.7 and enabled the following configurations to the default:
MOTD, IMAGE_MENU, REQUIRE_VCI_ETHERBOOT, CAN_BOOT_DISK.
