No joy attempting to PXE boot from the on-board 3c905b, but was able to make progress with an add-in 3c905c. However, after successfully loading pxegrub, booting the multiboot and loading the x86.miniroot image, the machine simply hangs after displaying the SunOS banner. Booting the kernel with -v shows that it goes into la-la land after "isa0 at root". Oh, well. I give up on Jumpstarting this box; I suppose I'll have to find CD-sized .iso's (no DVD drive available) to burn and do it the hard way. Or just go back to my SPARCs and ditch this useless PC crap entirely... Test environment: Solaris 10 11/06 Dell Precision Workstation 210 MT 2 x PIII 550Mhz, 512MB RAM, Matrox G400 Adaptec 29160, Quantum Atlas IV 10k 9GB disk
