This follows on from my previous. After discovering wget's stupid trick of
changing the name of the target file each time and fixing that, I'm managed
to boot Network Bootable Image version of the tftboot.img file.
However, it doesn't find my NIC, and I don't see what I should do (short of
build my own kernel) to help it.
The documentation I've been following is like what I did some years ago to run
RHL 5.x off the LAN with NFS root.
There is a alternative, playing tricks with initd and linuxrc and such.
Here's what I did to your kernel:
mknbi-linux tftpboot.img --output=tftpboot.nbi
--ip=192.168.0.102:192.168.0.1:192.168.0.1:255.255.0.0:wombat
--append='console=0,9600' && vidmode tftpboot.nbi 6
That boots. Here's the full log:

I'm closing all bug reports filed on the boot-floppies since this
codebase has reached its end of life. boot-floppies is only in Debian
oldstable now (and temporarily in unstable because of bug #224469).
The new installer for sarge and beyond is of course, the
debian-installer. It solves a great many issues present in the
boot-floppies.
If you believe that your boot-floppies bug is still present in
debian-installer somehow, then please reopen the bug report and reassign
it there, or perhaps better, file a new bug report.
