 2. driver.bootd.dhcp.aos.x86opboot.desc = 2.4 kernel x86 ActiveOS 128MB Autonegotiate
 3. driver.bootd.dhcp.aos.x86opboot-256MB.desc = 2.4 kernel x86 ActiveOS 256MB 100Full
 4. driver.bootd.dhcp.aos.x86opboot-512MB.desc = 2.4 kernel x86 ActiveOS 512MB Autonegotiate
 5. driver.bootd.dhcp.aos.x86opboot.rh4-256MB.desc = 2.6 kernel x86 ActiveOS 256MB Autonegotiate
