-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Etherboot is a package for boot PROM code that will allow a machine to
load a kernel through bootp, tftp and NFS.
The major new stuff since 1.0 are: 16-bit versions that will run on
CPUs < 386, bug fixes, and code cleanup.
Although the LSM says it's at Sunsite, I have been unable to upload the
file so far, the site's too busy. Therefore it's also at
ftp.syd.dit.csiro.au in pub/ken/etherboot-1.1.tar.gz for the time
being.

Platforms: An ELF-based GCC is required, EPROM burner recommended
(unless booting from DOS disk). If building the 16 bit
version, bcc from the Linux/16 or Linux/ELKS project is
required. See netboot-16/README.16 for a more detailed
description of netboot-16.
