10139N/AYou can use the netboot support to download OS images from a network.
10139N/ANearly all the device drivers are coming from the network-based boot
10139N/Aloader, Etherboot. Please visit its web page. They have rich
10139N/Adocumentations so you will be able to get useful information from there.
10139N/AThese below are common options for configure. Perhaps you may not need

10139N/A no packet collision can happen.
10139N/A Define this for PCI BIOSes that do not implement BIOS32 or not
10139N/A Enable the diskless support. If specified, you will get two optional
10139N/A images, called "nbgrub" and "pxegrub". The former is the ``Net Boot
10139N/A Image Proposal'' format, which is used by Etherboot and Netboot, while
10139N/A the latter is the ``Preboot Execution Environment" format, which is
10139N/A used by a PXE ROM. You may buy a PXE ROM from some companies.
10139N/AHere is the information about the device drivers. They are all disabled
10139N/Aby default, so you must specify configure options to enable drivers you
10139N/Awant to use. Some drivers have extra per-driver options, so the extra
10139N/Aoptions are also described below.
10139N/ACaution: You should enable them as you need. Don't enable any

10139N/A addresses; increasing the address by one (0x300 -> 0x301) will force
