! Video depth
It appears that the driver [XOrg] uses for this unit can't support a bit depth of 24bits, but it does support 16bits.
-!!Availability
-There's a large number of these available on auction sites such as www.trademe.co.nz. You can pick up a second hand unit for under $100 NZ.
-!!Network booting
-Hold down P while powering up, and it starts a bootp/tftp attempt, using standard ports + 10000, which is irritating. I've had some luck using iptables -t nat to DNAT port 10067 to port 67, but it seems like I also need to SNAT port 68 back to 10068, and I haven't got that working yet. Probably have to do something for tftp too.
+
Interestingly, if you allow the bootp to wait, it times out after an hour and tries to tftp /tftpboot/kernel on port 10069.

i hope the hardest part is done.
next days i will try to boot some LinTS-images and my own bsd-stuff for building a diskless FreeRADIUS-Server and a RDP/X-Client ... will tell you about my experiences

+! changing bootscreen und booting up pxes-prebuild client over the network
+
+bootscreen:
+
+the bitmap from bootup is ugly :

+
+my screen is not really beautifull but inspired (from this web-site) :
+
+http://mitglied.lycos.de/szeissig/bilch-patch.bmp
+
+
+patching the bitmap is easy:
+#note the filesize of your startup.bmp while flashing firmware
+#the bitmap is before your (unused) mbr (remember the offset - for me starts at 834236) the filesize is 14120 bytes
+#you find the bmp-header: BM(7......
+#make your own screen.bmp (640 x 480 x 8 BPP)
+#patch the new screen with dd or a hex-editor
+#flashing - finished
