Does that mean I would have to cat in a ethernet rom?
Do you or the chip need one? Is there one in the factory BIOS or in a standalone flash chip or none at all?
I don't need an ethernet rom. Etherboot would take care of that correct?
For booting from network, yes. But maybe the hardware needs the ROM for initialization? Where is the MAC address stored? Note there doesn't seem to be any ROM even with the factory BIOS.
MAC address is stored in hardware.
Ok, so can I just do this with out specifing a PCI expansion rom address?
device pci 1e.0 on # PCI Bridge chip drivers/pci/onboard device pci 08.0 on end # Intel PRO/100 VE (CNR) Ethernet Controller end end
