Burt, since I'm a DOS guy from way back, the way I do this is partition
the hard drive with FreeDOS (www.freedos.org) and write an autoexec.bat
file to call the appropriate .com file from www.rom-o-matic.net. The
only caveat is that I have to use a file specific to the network card.
If anyone here is aware of the DOS version of the "Kitchen Sink"
etherboot file, I'd love to know about it. Just my $.02.
C-ya,
Mark
