[K12OSN] boot rom from harddrive

[Barry R Cisna]

Burt,,

    I use an very easy to use floppy i found on the net called eb_to_hd   ( etherboot to HD).
    Do a google search for it,,
    It builds youa  HD formatting floppy that is a two step process,,
    1. clears the MBR and formats your existing HD,
    2. searches your client box for an installed NIC,,,and assigns the correct driver for it,, and does a syslinux,,setup...

    reboot the client pc,,,with your network wire plugged in,,,and your connected to your K12LTSP server .
    it's that simple,,, takes a total of 5 mins and youve got a working K12LTSP client,,on your netowrk,,:).
    all thats required that you have a PCI nic( no ISA nics)..
    you can use old tiny HD's as it only needs a 5mb partition,,to make it work---sweet..

    Its idiotproff,,,  even i could make it work,,

    Take care....
