sorry for the late answer... nobody in the dev team has NICs with
etherboot roms yet, so beyond using the rom-o-matic bootfloppies we
havent made tests with EPROM driven NICs i suppose it will work fine
with the .zpxe roms from rom-o-matic, i cant just say it will work. i'll
try to get my hands on a EPROM driven NIC as soon as possible to confirm
that.
