For a DoC, you need a DiskOnChip programming device. A standard eprom programmer won't do it. Then, once you have the equipment, you'll need to format the DoC with a filesystem. You put DOS or Freedos on it and use a .exe module from Etherboot. I've found the .exe modules sometimes problematic. You could also put a ext2/3 filesystem on it, then install grub or lilo and put a .lilo image. That's how we did the Jammin-125's several years ago. I'm sorry I don't have more details. I've forgotten most of the stuff I did for those. In general, the DoC's were a pain in the butt to deal with.
