[Soekris] PXE boot on net5501

Hey all!

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find a means to have the 
net5501 boot via PXE when a CF-card is inserted (and recognized as the 
primary master).

I've done:

set BootDevice=F0

on the loader prompt (because the standard values 80 81 F0 reminded me of disk 
1, disk 2, and ethernet), but as the device still blocks right after typing 
boot, I guess it tries to read the non-existant boot-loader code of the 
CF-card, which causes it to block.

Any way around this, or what am I doing wrong?
