Les,

  Posted earlier to this list - I have not had the time to test it.
  It seems more oriented to doing PXE on non-PXE cards.

  Is this what you are looking for ?

  Or do you want this pre-boot environment booted via PXE ?

  That DHCP server must be scratching its electrons - just how
  many times must I tell it the IP address ? :-)

Cheers,     Andy!	[ Hi - from FlexFAX days .. ]

FYI:

I've been working on a network boot using GRUB.
After reading manuals and howtos, I've put the
result of my own work at this page.

http://www.hp.uab.edu/~ed/grub-net

Network aware bootable floppy and CD-ROM images
are available for download.

You must have a dhcp and tFTP server to hold
the kernel, kernel parameters, and initial
ram disk.

Share - enjoy.
