+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.

+
+>   $ 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.
