A note about the DHCP hack below: this is NOT recommended for general use!  It 
is a dodgy hack that gets around a problem in my DHCP environment (2 DHCP 
servers).  It is probably NOT necessary in a 1-server environment, and is a BAD 
HACK since it shortcuts the DHCP protocol.  This is a short-term work-around: 
what we really need is a fix for the DHCP code so that it works properly 
despite having two servers talking at it.

grub-diskless-patch-2



GRUB 0.93:

  Apply 'grub-0.93-0.94-1.patch' to update to the current version on official 
CVS first.



Current CVS version:

  Apply grub-0.94-1-0001.patch and grub-0.94-1-0002.patch by order. Use 
'--enable-e1000' , '--enable-rtl8139' , '--enable-3c90x' , '--enable-eepro100' 
or '--enable-tg3' after 'configure --enable-diskless'. Other card drivers have 
not been tested. If any of them work on your machine, please inform us :-).

Another patch - a huge nasty hack which bypasses a DHCP problem I'm seeing in 
my network environment.  We have 2 DHCP servers, and I think its confusing the 
DHCP implementation in Etherboot 5.3.5.  This hack shortcuts the DHCP protocol, 
and uses an OFFERed IP address without sending a REQUEST!  In real life, it 
should work OK since the IP address is only used for a short time.
