Light terminal not booting from dkt
The light terminal does not boot from diskette
I have set an experimental mini-web for Skolelinux with:
- a router
(universal IP on the outside eth0;
10.0.2.1 on the inside eth1)
- a hub for the 10.0.2.zzz subnet
- a master server MS 10.0.2.2
- a workstation WS.
- a light terminal server
Here is the ifconfig of the light terminal server

and now I want the light terminal to boot from a diskette
connected by a cross-over (twisted) cable to
the light terminal server,
but I can't: It stays forever with the monitor stating

I have gotten the eb-5.0.7-eepro100.lzdsk
ROM image on the boot diskette. And I think that this is the
right one for the NIC.
I am pretty sure that the hardware, connections, hub, etc are not
at fault. Because after failing to boot as a light- terminal Skolelinux
from the diskette I have succeeded in installing a normal stable Debian
from the three diskettes (boot, root, net-drivers) and from the
Internet. It connects through the light-terminal server
(with a twistec cable, exactly the same as before)
and here is what its ifconfig says after booting

The machine has been allocated the name ltsp253 by the

Does anyone have a suggestion about what I can do?
Thank you for your help.
