Hello - I hope this is the right list for this question.
I'm trying to install Debian over a network to my Dell Latitude LS laptop, which does not have a CD ROM or floppy drive. It has an onboard 3Com NIC (3c905 I think) which claims to support network boot. I did a netinstall of Debian to a Sparc a few months ago and was able to get it to work, so I'm fairly familiar with the setup of tftp and dhcpd. I have both services running on my local network and have the tftpboot.img file in the proper place with the right permissions so it can be served to the laptop. After some tinkering I am at a point where the laptop is able to get an IP from DHCP and tries to load the boot image from TFPT. This is what I see on the laptop screen during this process: Managed PC Boot Agent (MBA) v4.30 (BIOS Integrated) (C) Copyright 2000 Lanworks Technologies Co. a subsidiary of 3Com Corporation All rights reserved. Node: 00B0D0A42B88 DHCP... TFTP............................ File transfer error: Image file too large for low memory. I've searched Google and the mailing list archives for a solution to this problem and come up empty. Am I SOL? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
