-Hello!
-
-In <http://www.han.de/~gero/netboot/archive/msg01718.html> I wrote what I
-did know about futil and fboot then. It is about the same as Martys
-instructions, but I have a few comments now.
-
-> Then, see how large it is, with an "ls -l eepro100.rom". the answer will
-> probably be 16,384. You need to pad it with hex FFs to make it 64K for
-> FBOOT. I used the following two lines to create the flash image file.
-
-> $ perl -e 'print "\xFF" x 49152' > 48kpad.bin
-> $ cat eepro100.rom 48kpad.bin > 2794FC60.FLS
-
-It worked for me without any padding. When I burned a smaller image
-the program printed 50% instead of 100% and then it
-stopped. Everything worked anyway.
-
-
-I also did a brutal way of install etherboot or netboot on a
-EEPRO100+Mng without creating a file of type "2794FC60.FLS" for
-every card. It was necessary for me when I installed 70 clients...
-
-I chopped the binary file fboot.exe (my version was 99811 bytes, I
-don't remember the version name) in three parts:
-
-fboot1 30096 bytes
-fboot2 65536 bytes
-fboot3 4179 bytes
-
-Then you cat put them together again, but with a different part 2 and
-save it as fbootown.exe and execute it. It worked for me anyway. Of
-course you have to use padding to get a 64k part instead of fboot2.
