Syslinux - Sep 2005 - One image as A: and another as B:

Hi,

Is it possible to load two floppy images into memory using MEMDISK?
 Essentially I want to be able to config something like this:

 LABEL ASR-SRV1
	KERNEL MEMDISK
	APPEND raw floppy=0 initrd=img1.img AND floppy=1 initrd=img2.img

Is something like this possible in current SYSLINUX/ISOLINUX?
Is it possible at all?


I also notice that I am not able to use physical a: when running this
configuration:

 LABEL DRIVERDISK
	KERNEL MEMDISK
	APPEND raw floppy=1 initrd=ddisk.img


This might be the expected behaviour?

Yes. Make an image, lets call it "A:" as a floppy image. Make another
image, lets call it "B:". Take the B: image and copy it into the A:
image and install syslinux+memdisk on A: so that it loads the B: image.

Now, you can pxe boot, isolinux boot, or syslinux boot the A: image. It
will then chainload the booloader on A:, which as already described, is
a syslinux+memdisk for B:. Then this syslinux instance chainloads the
image on B:, which needs some sort of OS on it.
