db667a12 added a reference to ROM file
gpxe-eepro100-80862449.rom, but no such file. Intentional?
Yes. See

Citation from my former mail:
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.
There is still nothing new regarding these last points
because I did not spend any time on them.
Do you think there is urgent need for a gpxe-eepro100-80862449.rom
binary?
