If you try to boot via network, you could try to use gPXE - if you are lucky, it has support for your network card (it supports very many cards). gPXE can then load kernel and initrd via network (NFS, tftp, http, ftp, whatever you like). gPXE usually fits on a floppy, even with network drivers included.
I don't think gPXE supports PCMCIA network cards. Leave all that, what am I supposed to do to initialize the PCMCIA card?
look like you're right about gPXE: http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/pcmcia_support But that page also mentions: "If you are http://www.ltsp.org LTSP user, look at the LTSP “wireless” packages at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=17723 That package contains a floppy image that can be used to boot off wireless or wirebound PCMCIA network cards (probably other wireless [=NICs=] as well). " Maybe you can find something in the LTSP website/archives... HTH mvg, Guus
