Hi *, I have successfully installed a debian with debian's boot-floppies via TFTP on i386. As already mentioned in this bug, there is a tool called "mknbi-linux" witch appends initrds to a tftpimage. "mknbi-linux is part of the debian package "mknbi" (Create tagged images for Etherboot or Netboot). If you add the root.bin to the existing tftpboot.img with "mknbi-linux" the boot-floppies do their work. I have writte a patch to the "tftpboot.sh" 1.25 that I got via CVS. The patch is appended to the mail. boot-floppies should add a build-dependency for "mknbi", and the skript should be working on future boot-floppies. Then the tftpboot.img boots with etherboot- and netboot-roms. (I've only tested etherboot). If you wanna boot these images with a 3com rom, you need to extend it with "imggen", as I mentioned before (I've tested this one too). I'll contact the "mknbi" maintainer to include it in his package. sorry for taking so long and missing woody-freeze :( I've been on a longer vacation.
