Joyce,

Etherboot 5.4 is no longer developed or supported.  As has been mentioned to 
you personally several times over the past few years, you should be 
developing your driver within gPXE instead.

I typically expect to complete development of a gPXE driver for a new 10GigE 
card within two weeks.  Instead of spending years of time and effort in 
tracking down bugs in Etherboot that have long been fixed in gPXE, you could 
have developed (or funded) your driver within gPXE many times over.

Why do you continue to ignore this advice?
