Syslinux - Apr 2002 - Network boot.

Dear Sir,
    I want to build diskless linux via ramdisk root filesystem. I have only
floppy drive and NIC (not PXE support). I want to put only loader in floppy. The
kernel and initrd is keeped at server. I want the loader to automatically select
configuration file depends on IP address, like pxelinux. Would you please advise
me?
Thanks,
Theewara

Pxelinux needs PXE.

You can get a floppy bootable Etherboot image from www.rom-o-matic.net,
if Etherboot supports the NIC.

ISC DHCP v3 server has conditional configuration which can fairly easily
allow configuration dependent on MAC address or anything else in the
DHCP request.
