I will try without the netboot code,
but it is not supposed to do anything unless
you drop to command and use {dhcp,bootp,ifconfig}
to config the network, then pull a kernel from tftp.

To clarify, it finds /boot/grub/menu.lst on first
partition of the DOC2000 (I assume the first to grub,
because if there is nothing on the DOC, it gives the
searching for menu.lst message on every possible drive
and partition combination), but will not boot the kernel
with "invalid partition table" (the board is at the lab
now), and the tab completion for "kernel (hd0,tab " fails
with the same error.

Anyway thank for the response and I will let you know
what happens without the netboot code.
