I just saw your post and I would definitely be interested in an 8 MB DOS images to work with pxelinux.

HPA, I believe that support to boot windows CD bootsectors was broken in 3.05. I have tested 2.13, 3.00, 3.02, 3.05, 3.06, 3.08, 3.11, and 3.20pre6. All versions >= 3.05 are broken. All versions <= 3.02 work fine with the same config. The error message I get is: ================================================================ IOSLINUX 3.20 3.20-pre6 Copyright (C) 1994-2005 H.

SYSLINUX is certainly useful. I currently start Debian from their standard boot floppy, which uses SYSLINUX. I found it very easy to edit syslinux.cfg for ide-scsi setup. Surely the future lies with bootable CDs and floppy images specifically designed for them. Maybe there should be a combined SYSLINUX / ISOLINUX package which allows you to specify Floppy Emulation or not. But if you invent a

Is there a method to reboot a memdisk (floppy) image? I'm working on a DOS-based installation floppy that needs to repartition the hard disk prior to proceeding. DOS will only recognize the updated partition table after a reboot, but I'd like to be able to save information to the currently loaded memdisk floppy disk and simply reboot the image. Possible? I haven't had any luck with

Can someone address the boot once option. Is it to hard for syslinux to write a flag file to file system or the blank space after the mbr? .conf bootonce Lable /boot/flagfile or .conf bootonce Lable1 /boot/flagfileLable1 bootonce Lable2 /boot/flagFileLable2 bootonce Lable2 /boot/flagFileLable2 skip the default option if the flag file is 0 size.

Is it possible to have a isolinux based boot CD, where one of the options is to boot off the network. This would mean, 1. The kernel that one boots into is on the network and not on the CD. So easy to make changes. 2. One does not need a 'PXE enabled' network card. - Murali

It seems that quite a bit of stuff built up very quickly after the 2.07 release: Changes from 2.07 to 2.08-pre6: * Add new configuration command "ontimeout" to allow timeout to have a different action than just pressing Enter. * Add new configuration command "onerror" to allow a custom command to be executed in case the kernel image is

I am still unable to build and boot large floppy images. 1.44, 2.88, and any size HD images work great. No problem. However I have BIOSes with problems booting HD images and would like to get large floppy working. I have tried every script and method I could find with PC DOC 7 and MS DOS 6.22. I have spent too much time analyzing boot sectors. So a few questions: 1. Who has actually see it

I've been attempting to create a bootable image thats double the size of the 2880 floppy disk. I can do the following to create a image that will boot with memdisk but i cant seam to get it to work with a larger size.

Goodness, how many prereleases has there been in the last week... have lost count... Anyway, I have implemented the already-promised chainbooting API, and have included a sample program to chainboot floppies (it works for harddisks too, but only for the MBR.) As a bonus, in the process I actually discovered that booting .bs/.bss images under SYSLINUX was actually broken... that has been
