[Petre Scheie]

Or try the Universal Boot Floppy at 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80408&package_id=97496 that will 
work with most PCI NICs, including RTK8139 based cards, and even some ISA NICs.

If you do not have a boot rom installed, try going to ROM-o-matic.net, http://www.rom-o-matic.net/, where you can download disk images that will allow you to boot from the LTSP server.
