[syslinux] Strange Boot-Process with help of memdisk
Hi group, I have a linux-system on a physical CD-ROM. I want to boot this CD-ROM via PXE, because this linux-system doesnt support PXE native. My idea was the following. * Creating a 50MB Harddisk-Image with help of QEMU. * Partitioning tis Harddisk-Image with FAT. * Copyying all the files of the physical boot-CD to the virtual HD-Image (The physical boot-CD contains already a isolinux.bin file) * Booting the virtual hd-image with help of PXE * Starting the installation Process by the isolinux.bin file Is this possible, because I think it is not possible to boot virtual CD-ROMS by memdisk. Thanks

What I understand from it, is that it is MEMDISK for CD-ROM images. Cheers Geert Stappers
