similar to: memdisk hard disk image

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

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.

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] ... Loading boot sector... booting... SYSLINUX 2.04 welcome! boot: 1 [single dot]

- mkdiskimage -d image.dsk 2 64 32 - load it in dosemu and make it bootable with sys - isolinux: label 999 kernel memdisk append initrd=image.dsk harddisk c=2 h=63 s=32 results: memdisk 2.11 -> boots memdisk > 2.11 (up to 3.07) -> hangs The following message is printed in the boot messages > 2.11: MEMDISK: image has a fractional end sector The complete error message

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

Hi, i need to write DOS Assembler software, ive tried TASM.EXE, but it just crashes. System is: x86_64 AMD, archlinux. wine is installed as 32bit through multilib....is it possible that this combination causes the crash? Is there a easier solution/program? greets Julius

Hi, I use the latest Codeweavers WINE and several DOS programs wouldn't run correctly. Where can I find the best DOS emulator for Linux? Thanks!

Hi Maybe HPA or Murali could help me with this one, or anyone who got the following working. I spend numerous hours reading the list and googling without success. I'd like to create a bootable USB stick and CDROM that will do the following. I will have a menu, from which I could pick a specific dos image (not partition). The dos images could have up to 20Megs in size. The goal is to have

Hi, I am trying for quite some time to create a bootable hd disk image with mkdiskimage (included in the syslinux distribution) and the combination isolinux/memdisk. It just won't work:-} I have done the following: [snip] # ./mkdiskimage -d -o disk 256 32 1 640 # losetup -o 640 /dev/loop3 disk # mount /dev/loop3 /mnt/3 # mount | grep loop3 /dev/loop3 on /mnt/3 type vfat (rw) :: copy

I have a 32MB HD image that I can pxelinux.0/memdisk boot without issue. I would like to both memdisk and my image on a CD and then boot from the CD with pxelinux.0. Is this possible? If so how? Thanks.

Hi folks, does anybody know how to get a DOS executable to run that relies heavily on ansi.sys to simulate a text-based user interface? My wine version is "Wine release 20010305".

I must run Turbo C for the university. The install seemed to go alright, but when I try to run it I get: $ wine TC.EXE Warning: unprotecting memory to allow real-mode calls.

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

Sorry to bother you, but i want to use your genious memdisk feture, but i am not able to create a hdimage that is compatible with memdisk (see ML postings). I am not a Linux newbie, i maintain a project at [1], so i cannot be too stupid in making the image. I really tried it for some weeks to create such an image, i am not able to get a working image. It would be nice if you can send me a step

Hi I have a relatively small executable (and also the source code) for an experimental data logging application which was written to be used with DOS in the middle ages of earth. I tried to install it using wine. Wine simply hangs after the second line - no return to prompt - see below: user@Laptop:~$ wine '/home/user/Desktop/Pocket.exe' Warning: unprotecting memory to allow real-mode

I have just released SYSLINUX 3.00-pre9. The only change versus 3.00-pre8 is that the MEMDISK query API now reports the boot loader ID byte, per Bernd's suggestion. This is a release candidate, and I plan to release it as 3.00 *tomorrow*, unless I hear back anything bad. -hpa

I am using memdisk to remotely flash the BIOS and other firmware. It works well for most flash programs. After the flash I need to initialize the NIC to send a signal to my management server that the flash is complete. I am curious as to how others have solved this problem. Thanks.

After using a dual-boot system for a while (Win98 + Mandrake) on my home machine, I've decided to go for Linux only on my new (well, used) notebook (Latitude PII 266 w/ 128 MB RAM). In any case, I don't really use any Windows programs except a few games (well, I use office tools and programming environments, but there are plenty of good ones in Linux as is), so I'm looking into using
