Why the need for a PXE card? You can always boot from an etherboot PXE
floppy (http://rom-o-matic.net/5.2.4/). Yes, I'm assuming the target
machine has a floppy and yes, I also understand why bios support is
better in lab type setups but if it's just a once of need to get around
the fact that someone nicked your card then a floppy boot is a good
solution.
