[Soekris] Can't seem to boot after flashing BIOS

[Mike]

When you update from the early versions to 1.28, the 'BootDrive' 
paramater gets corrupted, take a look at yours again and you'll see what 
I mean. You can easilly fix this by issuing:


set bootdrive=80 81 f0 ff

from the combios monitor. For reference, the numbers represent 'bios 
drives', with 80 the first, 81 the second, f0 the pxe bootloader on the 
ethernet, and ff (I beleive) to be the end of the list.
