This is to announce an updated version of the ethernet boot eprom
source code. The source is available via anonymous ftp at
dinah.lerc.nasa.gov:pub/386bsd/netboot.tar.Z

Some bugs in the interactive monitor code were fixed.

bcopy(), bzero() were rewritten as in-line assembly functions to
speed up the boot process.

Some new commands were added to the interactive monitor mode to
control options (boot single user, enter kernel debugger) given to
kernel when it is started.
