Now that is very useful - I've been having problems with CPU detection
cross compiling from amd64 so now I know it can be done!!

I'd goggled that the CPU flag should be set to Prescott but I'm getting
segfaults on the frontend with that so I'm going to try your make.conf
file and emerge --emptytree world to clean it all up. Only about 220
packages so it won't take too long :-)

I'm certainly finding pxelinux to be so much better than the pxegrub I've
been using for the last 4 years - my current frontend I've already cut
over to it and I'm netbooting the Zotac OK now.

Starting with 0,21-fixes for now so I'll be able to switch frontends
easily but ultimately 0.22 is the reason for this Zotac board!!

Many thank to you and Phill for your help so far.
