I'm trying to make an Indy netboot, but I'm not too familiar with the new monitor (let's just say that I knew sifex much better...Anyone remember the IRIS 3130s?). I need a way to correct the HW address, since it appears to be set to '0:0:FF:FF:0:0', and it is complaining about it. Is there any other way to change nvram settings except through the setenv/printenv commands? I hope to be contributing to this project soon, but I'm off to a fairly rocky start ;-) Thanks in advance, --Charles Lepple, http://www.ee.vt.edu/solarcar/ http://www.mitre.org/research/nanotech/
