similar to: bootdisk for an initrd image on cd

Just for the record, I want to let the list know that I succeeded in booting a modified Universal TCP/IP Network Bootdisk floppy from http://members.iinet.net.au/~bdriver/bootdisk/ I started with a Win98 Bootfloppy from http://www.tobs.uku.co.uk. Then I made a disk image from this, using dd.exe from cygwin. Then I converted this disk image from 1.44MB to 2.88MB with winimage. Then I copied

Hallo, I try to boot the windows 98 bootdisk via memdisk. It doesn't work completely. Booting a freedos FD image works, booting the windows 98 image works too. But the windows 98 boot disk then should extract the file "ebd.cab" with the file "extract.com", and that step fails. Is that a syslinux problem or a windows problem? Viele Gruesse! Helmut

Hi folks, is there anywhere an opensource PXE bootdisk (i've only found some from M$ as binary image) or a howto for generating one w/ the syslinux package ? cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT services phone: +49 36207 519931 www: http://www.metux.de/ fax: +49 36207 519932 email:

Hi, I'm trying to convert my PXE enviroment from the 3com to PXELinux but I've got a problem when loading a image created by 3com's utility. At first when I tried to launch the bootimages with memdisk but I had no luck Then I added a MBR to the images and now Norton Ghost can launch but it first gives me a Windows 98 bootscreen and my customized Universal Network Bootdisk can't

Anyone know the correct syntax for specifying a floppy image in the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default file? I am trying to use: label Dos Bootdisk MENU LABEL Dos bootdisk FDIMAGE discimage.img But when I select it the menu, I get a message saying "Automatic boot in 30 seconds" and nothing happens. I would use: label Dos Bootdisk 2 MENU LABEL Dos bootdisk 2

Hello, I am trying to update files on LDOM boot disk from Control Domain, but I can''t get it working fully. I have a setup that allows to quickly deploy LDOM guest domains.

Hello, This situation is not strictly samba, but it is related. If people think it's off topic please respond privately. I've got a redhat9 samba server running samba 2.2.7 on to which i'd like to store some ghost images that i ghost from network machines. I'm using ghost 7.5 and i'm having problems getting the disks to connect to the server. The two cards are: Sis900

Hello, I hope that I am applying this question to the correct place, if not I do apologise! I would like to create a boot floppy which mimics a PXE rom. In this instance I would like to boot very old non PXE NIC workstations and install them from our Windows RIS. Is it necessary that I create a some sort of full Linux boot cd to use for this purpose or is there a pre prepared boot disk already

Was it intentional feature, or it is a bug? Bug, because if, say initramfs `init` has # chroot /rootfs /bin/sh -i <>/rootfs/dev/tty2 1>&0 2>&0 # without any prior `cd`, then current directory will be one of the `init`, even if it is displayed by tools as `/' inside the chroot. ____

I want to be able to make a USBbootStik for my laptop, as I repeatedly did for the now stolen PC. I've got a copy of the required 2009, Slackware13 partition, saved to a USBdisk. And I've located the 175-line: <make bootStik script> . Of course just "chroot"ing Slak13, won't allow <make bootStik>. But why can't someone here, provide the info to make an

Hi, I am trying to setup my own PXE boot server. I tried several PXE bootable Linux-Distributions. For example if I use the ubuntu netboot image from [1] it works quit well but there are a few other images they do not work in my case e.g.: RIPLinuX [2]. A friend tested this image on his PXE boot server with success. I also checked the download with md5sum. In my case I can see the boot menu [3].

Hi, is there an easy way to circumvent the SYSLINUX novice protection thing? intended users don't know about CTRL key to circumvent it. I'm trying to make a generic bootdisk for systems of 8086 - Pentium4. however the bootdisk is slow, so I'd like to use Syslinux + Memdisk to load a diskette image. then the text displayed to user will be: 1) FreeDOS bootdisk (accelerated, 386

Hello Peter, It isn't stated on your site how to transfer initrd images using PXELINUX. I found out how to do it, but I can imagen that some people won't. Perhaps you could add an clear example like this to your http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php section: ----- To load a linux kernel using an initrd root filesystem add an configuration entry: LABEL linux-install KERNEL vmlinuz

Hello, I have 8 Samba servers with 300 clients here running on Sun and Linux machines with GREAT performance. Now in one departement i installed samba 2.0.6 on one 40K$ IBM F50 with AIX 4.3.2, 2xCPU, 256MB RAM, 100FDX, extern RAID 5 Tower . Performance is really very, very BAD. I tried already everything, but this IBM box with samba is just very SLOW. Browsing through directories, logging, copying

Okay.. I'm pulling out my hair, not having much luck trying to get ISOLinux (syslinux) running on my IBM x345 Server... I want to put my boot (syslinux) and root files (lib etc for modules) on the CDROM and just boot off of it to use PartImage... Not having much luck though.. For testing purposes I'm using the boot floopy I created using "The Linux Bootdisk HOWTO" and it

Hello all Now I may be way of whack here, so please forgive me. I''m trying to merge xen with redhat''s config-netboot. The idea being a kinda stateless domU. For those that haven''t seen you share a rootfs and then bind mount all the individual files over then top, and the redhat gui builds all the pxeboot config and stuff for you if you want a diskless client. I

I have an application/program which shows 'bios EDD error' when using Isolinux (with either loading an image directly through MEMDISK, or booting to A:), and not when using a bootdisk directly or booting a bootdisk directly which has SYSLINUX on it. configuration: bootable cdrom with Isolinux 2.11/2.12pre9 as bootloader. 1.44MB bootdisk with MSDOS.SYS/IO.SYS and the UDMA2 dos driver,

Hi all, I'm trying to get a pxeboot server up and running, according to the instructions on the WIKI (http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PXE/PXE_Setup & http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PXE/PXE_Setup/Menus) Here's my /tftpboot/pxepxelinux.cfg/default : default menu.c32 prompt 1 timeout 300 ONTIMEOUT local MENU TITLE PXE Menu label Dos Bootdisk MENU LABEL ^Dos bootdisk

I would like to develop a system where by I can boot any of the machines on my system - and select from a menu what I would like that particular client to do. For example, maybe load a bootdisk image from a network share, and boot that. Or boot the first partition on the local disk.

HALLO, HOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO ACCESS FROM A DOS-BOOTDISK (VER.7.0) RUNNING ON A WINDOWS95-MACHINE TO A SAMBA-SERVER (WITHOUT STARTING WINDOWS). IF WIN95 IS RUNNING THE CONNECTION WITH THE SAMBA- NETWORK SERVER IS OK. (MS-NETWARE CLIENT AND TCP/IP) WHICH PARTS OF DRIVER, MANAGER, CLIENTS, PROTOCOLS ARE TO INSTALL ON THE MACHINE AN ON THE BOOTDISK? THANKS, PETER Mail: p_w@aon.at
