Re: net boot file for potato?



Hi Jay,
there is a way to get e netboot, I had a similar Problem but use sarge.

You can download the Netboot archive from
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz

The pxe-boot you should use de attached "pxeboot", the original from debian does not wirk. This worked fine with my 
net4501. Be aware that you need to change some setings in the menu.lst when you have installed grub after installing.

Contact me for further Questions.
Regards,
Michael Przysucha

PS: What type of Soekris do you use?
