[syslinux] What method can I use to configure PXE client(msdos) output console from serial port?
Hi, How are you! I built a PXE server of MSDOS in Linux server, client can boot from network and login MSDOS, but by default, the output console is VGA, My target client has not VGA port, it can only output from serial port, so could you help to tell me how to boot a MSDOS client from network and keep the PXE client output console is serial port ? Below is the PXE configure file?s content: Vi /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default Kernel memdisk Append initrd=dos.img Note: dos.img is a DOS bootable disk image, ( dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/dos.img ) Thanks ************************** ???
