Syslinux - Jan 2003 - MEMDISK: Image seems to have fractional end cylinder

Hi,

I created a 4 Meg Byte primanry DOS patition onto a hard disk. This partition 
was formatted with 
format /s.
The hard drive was able to boot DOS.
After that I connected the drive to a Linux machine and created and image 
with the command
dd if=/dev/had1 of=hard.img

When I send this image to my PXE client I see on the screen:
MEMLINUX: Image seems to have fractional end cylinder
MEMLINUX: Image appears to be truncated.

Any idea whats going wrong there?

Thanks,
Thomas

Did you think of /dev/hda1?

Memdisk takes a disk image, and the partition table is part of this. Try
/dev/hda (the whole disk) instead of /dev/hda1 (first partition on disk).
