We've moved to GRUB 2 as a development platform. Unfortunately, GRUB 2 doesn't have network support yet, although there's ongoing work to implement it. If you want to help on that, please contact <grub-devel@gnu.org>.

In the meantime, this bug doesn't apply. I'm closing it.

The Etherboot-5.3.8 pcnet32 drivers hang on the probe in VMware :-(. And the origin grub only works with a single driver, for the PCI probe doesn't work very well, too.
I'll check the code and try to fix them on grub-0.95-diskless-patch-2 (or in grub-0.95-diskless-patch-3 :-)

Update: pxe rom-boot within vmware (ws or gsx) works fine using the grub-0.94 relase and the lance driver but without the diskless patch 3 installed ! I cannot get the pxe rom-boot working anymore after using the patch 3 whatever driver is used, lance or pcnet32...
