I have 7 machines that have 3c905b-TXNM network card in them,  what 
would be the best method to pxe boot these machines? 
I tried rom-o-matic but there is no exact match and the 3c905b ones I 
tried connect and this is what I get

what is left on the screen is

Connectors present: 10Base-T / 100Base-TX
.. Me: 192.168.0.250, Server 192.168.0.254, Gateway 192.168.0.254
loading 192.168.0.24:/lts/vmlinuz.ltsp ...(NBI)

18 rows of ......

...done
Issuing RESET:
mknbi-1.4.0/first32.c (GPL)

then it hangs there fore at least an hour - I didn't wait longer

are there any special option you have to select on rom-o-matic or some 
configuration that I need to do on the server to boot from a rom-o-matic 
boot floppy.

all the other machines I have used boot from a pxe boot network card so 
I haven't run into this before. And the 3c905c-tx-m cards in the other 
clients work fine onthis server.
