1: Install 3Com PXE Boot Services
This is on the GHOST Installation CD under ‘extras’. If you don’t have the CD search for ‘master.exe’ in the ‘extras’ folder. By default, only the Administrator option is selected, which will install only the management tools. Remember to change this to Server during the install. Accept all other defaults.
After installation, start the 3Com PXE Server and 3Com TFTP Server services (services.msc). Set the startup type to Automatic.
2: Create a Network Boot Image
Start Ghost Boot Wizard, and select option: TCP/IP Network Boot Image. Select PC-DOS, then select the universal driver, and store the boot image in the C:TFTPBOOT directory.
3: Create a PXE boot menu
Using the 3Com Boot Image Editor, select Create a PXE Menu Boot File.
Click Add and select Boot From Hard Drive as the default entry, then click Add again to create a second entry containing your boot image file (the .sys file you just created in step 2). Save the file.
4. Create an entry in the BootPTab control file
Start the 3Com BootPTab editor.
Delete the existing entries and go to Edit > Add Host… - add a wildcard host id '????????????' as a node identifier, and point it at the PXE Menu Boot File that you created in step 3.
I burnt a copy of gpxe-0.9.5-rtl8139.iso to a CD and booted off that. I am able
to download the PXE menu file (GhostCC.pxe) and the Image (GhostCC.sys) file but
when the Image is loaded by the menu.pxe it b0rks with:

Then using the '3Com Boot Image Editor' utility (ImgEdit.exe), Open the 3com Menu file, now named 'SYS: TFTP DINIC.SYS', and modify it to use the two.PXE files that you have just renamed. Myself, I set the GHOST.PXE to be the default boot image and set the timeout to one second.

Transferring image file..Error, the 'Keep BASE' setting in this image can only be used with an MBA 4.x or PXE ROM
The Ghost implementation guide, pg 601, has the following words of widom:
'Some newer (PXE 2.1) clients may hang when starting from a 3Com PXE image if
the Base Code is set to keep. By default, the Ghost Boot Wizard has the base
code set to keep. This ensures that earlier versions of the clients (for
example, PXE 0.99) start correctly and retain backward compatibility with
earlier Ghost releases. The backward comparability is required because older PXE
clients require the base code to enable the UNDI drive to operate correctly and
therefore the Universal Packet Driver to operate correctly. To prevent this
problem modify the PXE image using the 3Com boot image editor and turn off the
keep base code option.'
So I use 3Com's image editor which was part of the Ghost CD to alter my image
and disable 'Keep UNDI' and 'Keep Base Code' and it still doesn't work!!
Any suggestions?? There is an earlier thread here:http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.etherboot.user/3662From: Stefan Blomen Subject: Problems with 'Keep BASE'

Could someone clarify? PXE is supposed to get a boot image via some mechanism
(TFTP, HTTP) and load it.. so why does the ROM-o-matic ask for my network card??
I mean, isn't the sole purpose of PXE to avoid the whole network-card-config
issue?? Or is my network card driver required later on - after the image
loading??
Hope someone can help.
