[Soekris] problem booting net4501 from network

[arnaud]

Hello,

I've got an old net 4501 working perfectly under xxxBSD (loaded on a 128 MB
compact flash).

My problem is that I want to PXE boot the board and I couldn't achieve that.

To PXE boot it, I connect over the serial port, enter the bios, issue a
"boot f0" and ...nothing happens.

I upgraded to the latest combios, still nothing. The strange thing is that I
don't even see anything PXE related, just a "No Boot device available"
message.

What is my mistake here ?

please find below a transcript of a terminal session.

thanks for your help, Arnaud
