Is it possable to boot a diskimage with syslinux? So often I run into bios upgrade disks images or can easily create a disk image and would like an easy way to just boot these images. I know isolinux does this and I vagely remember using it to make a bootable windows 95 cd back in the day. It worked to. It would be nice if I could just copy the disk image to a usbstick and use syslinux to boot

Well I'll need to do more experiments first. I need to go out and find fdisk for windows. Ok like I said linux worked great and I think I'll just create a bootable cd to create a usb bootable sticks.(to give to windows users). Here is what I did for testing in windows.

So I'd figure the people that write boot loaders that do use initrds would know. I want to

I was seeing if I could use chain.c32 to boot windows off of a second drive. I'm pretty sure I'm using it right. Could it be because these are sata drives? I installed FC5 on a second sata drive I had in my new machine. Of course Grub didn't work as I wanted so I decided to try extlinux and if I can get it to work I might switch to syslinux so that I can edit the boot info in windows

does the IPAPPEND option still exist? If so I want clearification on it please. Out of the syslinux documentation it says the following. The flag_val is an OR of the following options: 1: indicates that an option of the following format should be generated and added to the kernel command line: ip=client-ip:boot-server-ip:gw-ip:netmask ... based on the input from the DHCP/BOOTP or PXE boot
