Hi,
We have been testing the localboot functionality today and it could be
useful if localboot was a com32 module rather than a configuration
directive so that one can use it on the boot prompt, rather than require a
menu entry/alias at all times.
A more userfriendly localboot.c32 could do this and allow eg for friendly
device-names.
localboot next
localboot floppy0
localboot hdd0
or something that makes more sense technically. And give a list of
possibilities when invoked without options ? (Just freewheeling)
We did notice on an HP Proliant ML 350 G6 that after booting syslinux from
a USB stick:
- localboot -1 booted caused to reload from the USB stick again
- a consecutive localboot -1 caused a PXE boot
I remember other people having issues with localboot in the past, but I
had expected newer hardware to work flawlessly ;-)
Any insights so we can update the Wiki ?
