As I understand (don't hesitate to correct me or give more details if you know them), the development of etherboot will stop and future development will be done on a new project called gpxe. This will occur shortly when Etherboot will reach its version 5.5. gpxe will have more features such as memory allocation, availability for more platforms and so on. gpxe will also replace the development of nilo. The etherboot drivers will be used but I was told that the interface will change. -- Vincent Guffens
