[Bug 487826] Re: Etherboot floppy boot terminal appears to load image and failed with 'Issuing RESET:' on 9.10

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Given there's been no working cod efor this for years, and that there
seem to be many permutations, they mostly affect quite old hardware,
let's just drop support for this entirely.

Bug description:
  When booting older terminals using Etherboot 5.4.x boot floppies, the
  image appears to load with all of the dots streaming across the screen
  and 'done' is displayed at the end.

  Immediately thereafter 'Issuing RESET:' appears on the screen and
  booting stops.

  Running Fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10

  Other terminals such as DisklessWorkstations T1420 and same terminal
  using gPXE0.9.9  boot to login screen just fine.
