Enhancements/Fixes in this version:

   hard drive upon system start-up.

 - Fixes a problem where the F10/F12 prompt was disappearing 	
   in less than 1 second on systems with two IDE Hard Drives. 
   Added an extra 1 second delay for this configuration and the 
   configuration with two drives on the primary and two drives on 
   the secondary controller. 

 - Fixes a problem where the system would not boot when a LanStreamer
   network card was present.

 - Added Net PC compliant (PXE) remote network boot support to enable 
   Remote System Installation.
