Description cyriac.benoit 2000-10-09 19:10:00 UTC

I wish to make an X server with diskless workstations.
The worksations use Linksys EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card (with boot PROM) 
to boot on the network (no use of disks).
My tftp server tell me the kernel is not a "tagged file". It's unable to
load the kernel image. It seems to be that the kernel must be in a.out
format. How can I compile such a kernel ?

How-To-Repeat: Reboot the station.
