Clone ipxe:
$ git clone git://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git
Then locate your network card with:
# lspci -nnnn
it will look like that:
[...]

Ajust your settings in src/config/local/
 
Then build ipxe:
cd ipxe/src/
make bin/10b79200.rom


Then backup the existing rom:
* [[/Howto_flash_coreboot_on_a_pcengine_apu1 | Howto flash coreboot on an PC Engine APU1]]
cd ../../
flashrom -pnic3com -r 3com_rom_backup.rom
The flashchip size is written in the output of that command.


Then generate a rom that is exactly the size of your rom chip:
* [[/Benchmarks]]
