Thanks for replying...

My target PC has the Pentium III @ 866 CPU, base memory 640k, 
extended memory 128M.

This is exactly what I got in my screen:

--------------------------------------------------------------
  Booting 'IOCtest'

kernel (hd0,0)/eb-5.0.8-rtl8139.lzlilo
  [Linux-zImage, setup=0x800, size=0xf600]

ROM segment 0x1000 length 0x4000 reloc 0x9400
Etherboot 5.0.8 (GPL) Tagged ELF for [RTL8139]
Boot from (N)etwork or from (L)ocal? N
Probing...[RTL8139]Found Realtek 8139 ROM address 0x0000
 - ioaddr 0XE800, addr 00:00:EC:D0:1F:C7 100Mbps half-duplex
Searching for server (BOOTP)...
..Me: 166.111.32.246, Server: 166.111.32.244
Loading 166.111.32.244:/epics/client1/bin/example.bt ...(NBI)... .
--------------------------------------------------------------

After "...(NBI)..." for 4-5 seconds, there is one more dot.

I do not have the following message printed:
---------------------------------------------------------------
......................done
A20 disabled via BIOS
---------------------------------------------------------------

What's more, I have already merged 16-bit startup code with my example, 
following the steps on "Getting started with EPICS on RTEMS".
