I'm not sure if this belongs here or on an etherboot list. I've given up on trying to get a single floppy syslinux with enough stuff to remote mount a file system. I'm trying an etherboot floppy. When I boot the system finds the dhcp server and gets the right file name but then it gives me the message "not a valid image." A quick search of the net didn't help much.

I tried a pls file and it appears to work. What's the difference (in practical terms) and where do I find the documentation on M3U files?

I have been asked to build a Linux Installation lab. The lab has to support the installation of SUSE Enterprise 8, Red Hat (Industrial strength), Fedora, Debian and Mandrake and probably a couple of others. Here is the catch: 1. The machine(s) will only have a virtual floppy attached so installation will be via network (we?ll supply the mirror). 2. It must be completely automatic ? one floppy

I am trying to create a single floppy boot using syslinux and dbootstrap in the initrd partition to load Debian Linux. I'm able to get it to do a secondary boot from the PXE system but booted system sometimes doesn't see the ethernet card. When it does I'd like to hardwire the URL of out mirror instead of us.debian.org. Does anyone know a source of any documentation on dbootstrap

I'm trying to create a single floppy based boot disk that will, depending on what the user enters, boot redHat, SUSE or Debian. Does anyone have any sample syslinux.cfg files that might allow me to boot via nfs? Also, I'm having trouble fitting init into initrd.img any ideas?
