Should I try: NO_DHCP_SUPPORT Use BOOTP instead of DHCP or DEFAULT_BOOTFILE: Define a default bootfile for the case where your DHCP server does not provide the information. Example: tftp:///tftpboot/kernel or ALLMULTI Turns on multicast reception in the NICs. or MULTICAST_LEVEL1 Support for sending multicast packets MULTICAST_LEVEL2 Support for receiving multicast packets or PXELOADER_KEEP_ALL Prevent PXE loader (prefix) from unloading the PXE stack. You will want to use this if, for example, you are booting via PXE-on-floppy. You may want to use it under certain circumstances when using the Etherboot UNDI driver; these are complex and best practice is not yet established. *or* MOVEROM If your motherboard does not cache adapter memory space, then this option can speed up loading of compressed BOOT-Prom images. It has no affect on uncompressed images. Unless you are very tight on free space, you will usually want to define this option. This option must be added to LCONFIG! (recommended). *or* ZPXE_SUFFIX_STRIP If the last 5 characters of the filename passed to Etherboot is ".zpxe" then strip it off. This is useful in cases where a DHCP server is not able to be configured to support conditionals. The way it works is that the DHCP server is configured with a filename like "foo.nbi.zpxe" so that when PXE asks for a filename it gets that, and loads Etherboot from that file. Etherboot then starts up and once again asks the DHCP server for a filename and once again gets foo.nbi.zpxe, but with this option turned on loads "foo.nbi" instead. This allows people to use Etherboot who might not otherwise be able to because their DHCP servers won't let them. There is *many* option, so I want not to try everything - multiplying ist 1000+ options.
