eepro100_register_devices() references three option roms:

- gpxe-eepro100-80861229.rom
- gpxe-eepro100-80862449.rom

The last one seems to be missing because it's not in the pc-bios directory.

Yes, it is missing. I did not add it for several reasons:

* The new variant i82801 (which needs the missing ROM) is currently not available
  via model=i82801 (it can be selected by experts using other methods).

* Experts can get the missing ROM from ROM-o-matic.

* All three ROMs differ only in one or two bytes (device id). That's a waste
of binary space (56832 bytes!). Therefore I plan to remove all but the first ROM file. The missing ones can be created by make or patched on the fly by QEMU during load. Maybe it is also possible to create ROM files which support
  more than one vendor/device entry - that would be the best solution.
