Hello,
I'm talking about a common problem may be, but situation is still obscure for me...
I create boot ROM image (16K) for DE220 ISA card (NE2000-compatible) using
Etherboot 5.3.9 with a common config options. This boot code works loaded from
floppy. It loaded from the PCI NIC's (3C905 or rtl8139) ROM socket too and works
with DE220 card in prospect.
But it doesn't work when I put ROM into DE220's boot ROM socket. rom-scan
utility doesn't detect ROM at all.
A 'Boot ROM 16K' option is active, I set it using DOS setup program.
It looks like my Etherboot BOOT ROM code doesn't work for ISA card... What's wrong?
Regards,
Igor.
