BIOS FLASHROMS AND COMPACT FLASH BOOT

[Deepak Kotian]

I was reading the FAQ on etherboot, It says
    insmod bios.o
    dd if=natsemi.elf of=/dev/bios bs=64k
    dd if=linuxbios.rom of=/dev/bios bs=64k seek=1

looks to be valid for TFTP , could someone kindly please 
elaborate the etherboot procedure in my case.

Regards 
Deepak
