while happy to hear that it works for you at the moment in your context,
That firmware you linked would break  in other contexts so I guess we will not use it in release…
but that’s a longer story 
and by the way, it’s very good that you’re here because we eventually  could ask you to test 
netboot again for the case we plan to make changes to firmware-files in releases.

… ouch, I see in your above new message that it breaks again, really no surprise….
so I guess we have to talk about(and test) your issue the next days… 
I`m offline for the rest of the day(night here) but perhaps there are others still here tonight...

thanks
