similar to: Creating hard disk image in DOS

Can anyone please tell me how to create a bootable 10MB hard disk image for use with memdisk? I'd like to use FreeDOS. And I know little of DOS. Thanks.

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to have the option to boot from hard disk when syslinux loads from floppy. Basicly I'm trying to create a boot disk which gives me the option to boot from hard disk, possibly after 5 seconds incase I leave the floppy in by mistake. The systems I would be using this floppy on would be running Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and possibly RedHat Linux 7.2.

Hello, I am managing 15 separate boot disks with various network disk images. These disk images are used for network installs of Windows OS's. Basically the network boot disk contains dos, the network drive in question and the connection information to the shared server for doing a ghost install. The problem is the 1.44 disk doesn't hold enough space to accomplish the job. What I

I have been trying to track down information on building HD boot images for ISOLINUX and MEMDISK, and so far, haven't had a whole lot of luck. I've found a number of sources describing the process of setting up ISOLINUX and MEMDISK, and how to configure the boot CD to boot various OS's. I've also read through Bart Lagerweij's BootCD/ModBoot pages, and Mikhail

Hello list, My set up is almost complete in booting DOS through PXELinux, but I need to create a DOS boot image from (2 )DOS floppies. I've search the archives and google but didn't find any relavant info... My current set up now works with the standard setup (with one DOS floppy): kernel: memdisk append: initrd=floppy.img ramdisk=10000 My goal to is create a floppy.img from 2 DOS

Thanks for Remko for his help to solve the fractional cylinder problem. But there is the second problem, the boot disk failure (see below << [B]) ... command line: initrd=disk.img harddisk c=2 h=256 s=63 BOOT_IMAGE=memdisk Disk is hard disk, 16128K CHS=2/256/63 <<<< [A] ...

I have been trying to find the information by searching through the archives and google, so I am sorry if this question has been asked before I just have not been able to find an answer. I have a syslinux boot floppy which loads to the boot prompt, I wish to load a .gz image which is on my hd0 0 by using memdisk as the kernel. I have tried to kernel memdisk append root=/dev/hd0 0 (also just

Hello, I'm trying to boot a dos floppy stored on a disk image which is initially loaded over pxe using memdisk. I've created the disk image as follows: dd if=/dev/zero of=$IMGLOCATION/$IMGNAME bs=$(( 1024 * 1024 )) count=20 LOOPDEV=$(losetup --show -f $IMGLOCATION/$IMGNAME) MAJOR_MINOR=$(ls -l $LOOPDEV|awk '{print $5$6}'|sed 's/,/:/') DMSIZE=$(( $(ls -l

How does one make a HD image? Floppy images are easy enough, but to have to create a hdimage, you need MBR and partitions, etc... I want to create a 10MB DOS HD and boot it, how would I do this with Linux? Thanks.

Hallo I would like to have an image of about 8Mb to boot with ISOLINUX and MEMDISK. I am not able to create an image complete of the MBR, as MEMDISK requires. I think I should emulate an 8Mb disk in memory or on a file, but I am able to do so only for a 'single partition'. Could you please suggest me a way to obtain the image? I can use Linux or Windows tools, it does not matter.

Hi, I'm working on a Red Hat 7.3 based bootable cd. I have included a number of firmware update floppy images to it succesfully. However, I run into problems trying to build a floppy image for IBM ServerRAID firmware update. The firmware update disk set contains three disks. So their content does not fit into 1.44 nor 2.88 floppy images. To my understanding it possible to build a hard disk

This isn't strictly speaking a SYSLINUX release, it's a change to MEMDISK and mkdiskimage to allow the creation of hard disk images with DOSEMU headers. This should make it easier to create bootable DOS hard disk images under DOSEMU. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

I read the following about memdisk : .... For any other size, the image is assumed to be a hard disk image, and should typically have an MBR and a partition table. The disk C/H/S geometry is determined by examining the partition table, so the entire image should be partitioned for proper operation. .... I'd like to create a bootable cd, wich boots a linux and some other tools. While

Hi all, I want to create a bootable DOS 6.22 image for pxelinux + memdisk. The following is my steps, anyone who knows what wrong with them? 1. Create image from a bootable floppy dd if=/dev/fd0 of=dosboot.img dd if=/dev/fd0 of=dos.bss bs=512 count=1 mount -o loop -t msdos dosboot.img /mnt/image cp dos.bss /mnt/image umount /mnt/image 2. config file in pxelinux.cfg folder

I couldn't find this information on your site for SysLinux, and I'm sorry to bother you with this, now, but I was wondering what format of hard disk images SysLinux supports. Is it a raw format, or a format like drive image or ghost. Thank you for your time, Joseph Baugher -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
