[Qemu-devel] eepro100: missing gpxe-eepro100-80862449.rom?

[Sebastian Herbszt]

eepro100_register_devices() references three option roms:
- gpxe-eepro100-80861209.rom
- gpxe-eepro100-80861229.rom
- gpxe-eepro100-80862449.rom

The last one seems to be missing because it's not in the pc-bios directory.

Yes, it is missing. I did not add it for several reasons:

* The new variant i82801 (which needs the missing ROM) is currently not 
available
   via model=i82801 (it can be selected by experts using other methods).

* Experts can get the missing ROM from ROM-o-matic.

* All three ROMs differ only in one or two bytes (device id). That's a waste
   of binary space (56832 bytes!). Therefore I plan to remove all but 
the first
   ROM file. The missing ones can be created by make or patched on the 
fly by
   QEMU during load. Maybe it is also possible to create ROM files which 
support
   more than one vendor/device entry - that would be the best solution.
