[syslinux] booting from local disk

[Leila Jaibaji]

It seems to freeze at a point before looking for the config files with 1.76.
(It gets the correct pxelinux.0 & finds the correct dhcp information).  This
is an odd freeze, because I can't power off the hardware (I'd have to unplug
it).

Here is my NIC info from lspci output:
02:0d.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev
0d)
        Subsystem: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 301a

        Memory at feafb000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]

        Memory at fea40000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K]
        Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=64K]

Thanks for the suggestions,
Leila.
