Yes, it is in the docs...
All i need to do is load the memdisk image with the 'keeppxe' option.
so, the default file should look like this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
default linux
label linux
kernel memdisk
append initrd=client.ima keeppxe
--------------------------------------------------------------------
That is all!
Again, thanks for these wonderfull tools.

Hi!
Strangely enough, I have again the same Fujitsu-Siemens machine which
(still)
has the same darn PXE bug.
This time I have tested it with Pxelinux 2.02 .
Just to suite it to my specific needs, I have recompiled it, changed only
this line: (2036)
;cfgprefix db 'pxelinux.cfg/' ; No final null!
cfgprefix db '/' ; No final null!
And still it hangs after having downloaded the memdisk image :(
This is the full text I get on screen:

Ready.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
At this point the machine simply freezes, not even CTRL-ALT-DEL works!
Here is my 'default' file:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
default linux
label linux
kernel memdisk
append initrd=client.ima
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope that with this somewhat full report, some light will shine on my
problem :)

Not strange at all. BIOS quality has been going down, down, DOWN since
the BIOS is increasingly looked at as just a bootstrap for Windoze. If
it boots the latest version of 'doze at the time the machine ships, it's
"good".
Something else you could try is pxelinux.0 from either 2.00-pre14 (some
people have had success with -pre14 when it doesn't work with 2.00) or
with 1.76.
Also, some people have reported, in particular, problems with booting a
floppy image on a machine with no floppy disk or a hard disk image on a
machine with no harddisk.
It's still odd; you should be getting *some* output from MEMDISK itself...
