IBM Thinkpad T21 cannot boot via PXE.

Error message: PXE-E79: NBP is too big to fit in free base memory.

System: 0.4.99 halfBaked-pre2
Notebook: Intel Pro 100 NIC (Boot Agent 4.0.17, latest), 192MB Ram, PIII 800, BX-Chipset

Neither PXE nor Etherboot is working. Any ideas?

What did you try?
The PXE bootrom from your NIC?

A common error is that the user chooses the wrong bootimage type. E.g. PXE networkcard with Ethernet bootimage. The error message seems to indicate that.

Please write me again if you are sure that you selected the right image.
