OK, I give up. I have no real experiences with asm. So, I want to
GET_CACHED_INFO. I have proper buffer 

BOOTPLAYER lbuf;

and structure

struct {
    PXENV_STATUS Status;
    UINT16 PacketType; /*1-discover, 2-ack, 3-cached reply*/
    UINT16 BufferSize;
    char * Buffer;      /* SEGOFF16 Buffer; ??? */
    UINT16 BufferLimit;
  } PXE_INFO = {3,sizeof(lbuf),&lbuf,0};


So now, I should call INT 22:

asm volatile("int $0x22" : "=a" (eax) 
               : "a" (0x0009), "b" (0x0071), .... );


Firstly: how to put in ES:DI the address of PXE_INFO?
Secondly: is PXE_INFO properly filled up?

best regards
p.o.
