So you suggest dd'ing the card to all zeros. Then reinstalling grub/ext3 partition - and that should work with the "stock" filo/etherboot code in the corebios?
Not really necessary to dd the whole card to zero, even if you take this route -- I blast 1 MB of zeroes, and it effectively takes care of MBR, weird partitions that don't respect fdisk, and so forth. Probably only a few KB of that are even necessary, but 1 MB is nice and easy to remember.
