[K12OSN] using really old PCs as clients

[raju VK]

Thanks for all the replies. But even now my question is not properly
answered. It is simply,  if I use a new network card with boot ROM,
whether I can boot in to a network even if the boot options does not have an
entry for network card as boot device.

>From the replies I assume the answer is negative and the only option is to
use a boot floppy.

regards,
Raju
