Karl,
Did you find a solution to this? I'm having similar issues with
Etherboot cards on 10.04. My Etherboot clients won't boot, but the
error is different. I never see the dots or the done, but a repeated
error:
error: not a tagged image
Unable to load file.
My boot screen initially
Interestingly, I just tried a newer etherboot nic, with Bootrom v. 1.8
and Etherboot/32 v. 5.0.10, and I have the same problem as Karl. The
dots going by, done, and then nothing.
cheers,
Cindy

Hi,
I'm trying to boot an unusual device here (using ubuntu feisty). It's a
small rack mount server about the size of a switch with an i386 type chip
in it with only a console port. It's a cast off from a nearby company and
we're hoping to mount a disk in it, net boot it and run backups to it.
