similar to: How to add NBI image on CD

Hi! I'm preparing what should be a general "network boot" solution for the ones that needs to do network boot on PC without BIOS support / ROM chips. It supports both PXE (like pxelinux.0) and NBI images. I've prepared a precompiled multi-driver image that can autodetect and handle nearly 30 PCI and ISA NICs. My "remote boot kit" contains the same image in 4

Hi all, I need a hint how to load *nbi images directly with gpxe /pxelinux etc. I have some networkboot images available only as *.nbi, loaded by a startrom.0 with "kernel startrom.0" and then a *.lst for the menue of the nbi images. The *nbi images and the startrom.0 is closed source and I have found no solution to unpack and patch them. I need to boot the images directly without the

I have spent a couple of days and quite some time during the nights googling and experimenting in pursuing subject objective and I feel like failing, if I cannot get competent help: My objective: boot a FreeBSD-package over the network by Systems lacking HW-Support for PXE My Testconfiguration: Server IBM-PC300 Client Siemes Fujitsu ErgoPro with freeBSD6.0 installed Network card in

Hello Everyone, In short, I have the following questions: Is there a known problem with PXE booting and LinuxBIOS? Will pxelinux.0 not work with a serial console? Is there a way to convert pxelinux.0 into an ELF file? The Long Version: I am working on installing Rocks Cluter distribution on a LinuxNetworx cluster. The hardware was donated to my college, and the CS

Greetings. I''ve been asked to work on a PXE solution for booting Xen domU''s from a network, and would like some feedback and any help anyone is willing to provide. I''ve been limiting my work to HVM domU''s at the moment, because I don''t think the NBI''s (as far as I know, these are bootloaders) that I have available work in paravirtualized

Hi, I would like to request password protection in syslinux. I know that it has come up a few times on the mailing list (google for "site:www.zytor.com syslinux password"), and on http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/syslinux/2002-May/000421.html you say interesting things about COMBOOT images. So I was wondering if I could bring that feature request to your attention again :) grub has it,

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.

Hi, is there any way to simulate a PXE boot from an Etherboot ROM? Background: I am using PXES in a customer project. PXES supports bootsplash only via pxelinux. The customer machines only have old ISA network cards for which there appears to be no PXE boot rom so I have to use Etherboot. Maybe one could build an NBI image from pxelinux.0 somehow ??? Use a newer etherboot image as a second

Hi, I've been using pxe-enabled nic's with an lzpxe-etherboot image generated by rom-o-matic.net to boot a ltsp.org kernel, with dhcp 3 to use if statements to determine which filename option he gives to the pxe/etherboot dhcp client.Explained at http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/pxe.howto.html This works perfectly, except for the fact that you can't use 1 etherboot pxe image for

I have added instructions to memdisk.doc for how to disable MEMDISK. However, it's unlikely that this will work if you're running under DOS, since DOS will be very unhappy about drives changing underneath it.

Fellow syslinux fans, I'm using syslinux on a boot floppy (I'll call this syslinux A) to invoke an etherboot image (zlilo style) which invokes a tagged NBI image from my DHCP/TFTP server. The tagged NBI image is created using mknbi-dos and also uses syslinux (I'll call this syslinux B), a linux kernel and an initrd file. It works perfectly if syslinux A has a basic .CFG, e.g.:

Hi all, I need some suggestions or hints which syslinux version I shall use. The main focus will be on PXE boot. I have to upgrade due to (expected) performance problems (tftp), so I will swich to HTTP boot ! existing system: - syslinux version 4.05 (tftp only) - used modules : pxelinux.0, memdisk, vesamenuc32, patched startrom.0 - I boot .nbi , .iso, .ima and sometimes files (clonezilla etc.) -

Dear all, I am using gamlss (Package gamlss version 4.0-0, R version 2.10.1, Windows XP Service Pack 3 on a HP EliteBook) to relate bird counts to habit variables. However, most models fail because “the global deviance is increasing” and I am not sure what causes this behaviour. The dataset consists of counts of birds (duck) and 5 habit variables measured in the field (n= 182). The dependent

Here is my first major problem with dovecot. I am running rc15 on FreeBSD 6.1. I run dovecot supervised by DJB's daemontools. I run only the pop3 service. A colleague informed me that pop3 service was simply not responding. They could not rcv mail. When I checked the server, tail-ing dovecot.log, here is what was scrolling: [wash at nbi ~]$ tail -f /var/log/dovecot.log dovecot: Nov 23
