(after we know that to be working you can pop whatever nic back in) (2017-12-28 19:27)His_Cifnes Wrote: 486er still hangs at "Loading ROM image............................." but before "Initialising devices..." I need to ask 486er? there is no er on any 486 model AFAIK so what do you actually mean? Are you sure you dd the correct file "ipxe/src/bin/ipxe.dsk" to the floppy before booting? if you boot that floppy on some other machine, what do you see in the iPXE header? Something like "iPXE 1.0.0+ (be9e) -- Open Source ..." the version (be9e in this case latest version right now) is which git commit it was built from, plase post that number that you are seeing, that way we can make sure it is the latest code.
