Port details
etherboot 5.2.6 net on this many watch lists=6 search for ports that depend on this port
Ignore IGNORE: is only for i386, while you are running amd64
Network boot of FreeBSD a.out/ELF kernels (improved netboot)
Maintained by: ambrisko@FreeBSD.org search for ports maintained by this maintainer
Port Added: unknown
License: not specified in port


This code produce bootloaders for a number of cards that can be
loaded from raw or DOS-formatted floppy/hard disks and ROMs
to boot ELF/aout kernels over NFS or TFTP.
Edit work/etherboot/src/Config to see/set the desired features.

The defaults used here are suited to boot FreeBSD ELF kernels over NFS.

To produce an etherboot floppy (or HD partition) do

	cd work/etherboot-5.2.4/src 
	cat bin/boot1a.bin bin/<device>.zrom > /dev/fd0

Replace <device> with the specific code for your card, and /dev/fd0
with your hard disk partition.

From the PR:
  Without this patch GCC optimizer removes all card driver code
  resulting in nonworking rom image.

  There are some bugs in GCC-3.4.2, maybe updating system compiler to latest
  gcc snapshot will be good idea also.

This still occurs in 7-current gcc version 3.4.4 [FreeBSD] 20050518.
So adding in the patch.

Try to implement something similar to a window protocol in
terms of response to losses.
This makes etherboot work much smoother when nfs-loading
kernels in presence of a small amount of losses.

A similar patch will be committed shortly for tftp loads
(in the process of testing that, Doug Ambrisko and I found
a bug in FreeBSD's tftpd!).

These patches are being submitted to the etheboot developers
for integration in future releases of etherboot.
