there are some other more recent posts about running on old cpus as well, I have run it in qemu emulating 486 or 386, but have not tested on real hardware.

I was initially testing using a 486 system, but now am using a P-III 866Mhz. I built iPXE & gPXE ne2k_isa images for use with an RTL8019AS ISA PnP NIC. Both .dsk images work fine when put on a floppy disk, but neither .rom image boots from the BROM chip. The card is jumpered for a 64kB ROM at address D000. gPXE hangs, but iPXE reports:

Code:

iPXE starting execution...1B101B10 000D11B4 0001AE58
Installation failed - cannot continue

I would guess that something's going wrong decompressing the image. What are the next troubleshooting steps at this point?
Thanks!
