I didn't end up getting any of the drivers to run. I've tried
cyrix_drv from X 4.0, 4.2 and 4.3 and nsc_drv from 4.3. Haven't
tried the X 3.3.6 one, but the webpages I read said it wasn't
promising.

I took Cameron's advice and used the VESA drivers... And now I have
a (pseudo)netbooting x-terminal! =)

The Etherboot image and its contents I'm uploading to
http://dagobah.ucc.asn.au/wizard/xterm/ for anybody interested.

You'll need to somehow get the Etherboot ROM code running. Currently
it's just another partition on my HDD (with partition type 1), with
boot1a.bin and rtl8139.lzrom cat'ed into it, and a menu item from
grub that uses chainloader (hd0,3)+1 (it's in hda4). I couldn't
figure out how to chainload it with LILO.

Ultimately, we'd source some "DiskOnChip" flash chips which drop
into the empty socket on the corner of the board and load the
Etherboot code onto that.

More later :)

Bernard.
