tom & peter Hi Guys, I have a little problem I'm hoping you can help me with. When I try to boot toms image, memdisk states a "fractional end sector" while loading the image. It continues with the process until I get a "Booting..." prompt and then freezes. Here's the whole story: A while back I acquired version tomsrtbt 2.0.103, to make a multi-image boot cd as

Memdisk 2.08 does not appear to be able to boot an XP DOS image (it starts to boot and then hangs). XP DOS appears to be borrowed from WinME (v4.90.3000). I was trying to make a multiple boot CD with Bart's method: http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/#multimemdisk but substituting Brads TCP boot disk instead of Barts: http://members.iinet.net.au/~bdriver/bootdisk/index.htm Brad uses XPs DOS as it

Hi, I've coded loading NT cdrom bootsector into isolinux 1.68 myself (http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/#multimemdisk) and I now see you have included it in isolinux 1.73 and higher. Great!!! I tried it using isolinux 1.74 and 1.75pre2, but I cannot get it to work. It says: -- Loading Invalid or corrupt kernel image. -- I use the file extension ".bin" as I see in the isolinux.asm source,

I am trying to acheve pxe booting of a image of barts boot disk (www.nu2.nu). I have managed to get LTSP booting via pxelinux, so I know my dhcp/tftp servers are ok. However when I try to boot memdisk with either a stock suselinux boot image file (taken from SuSE 9.1) or my dos disk (created by dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/imagefile) I get output like MEMDISK 2.08 command line : BOOT_IMAGE=memdisk

Hi, Quoting the memdisk.doc: Similarly, if you're booting DOS over the network using PXELINUX, you can use the "keeppxe" option and use the generic PXE (UNDI) NDIS network driver, which is part of the PROBOOT.EXE distribution from Intel: Does anyone know what this means? It sounds like a generic network driver for DOS exists. I have a copy of the PROBOOT.EXE, but I can't work

Hello all, I am still struggle in my isolinux.cfg I got from http://www.bootscriptor.org/ that memdisk not support Win ME boot disk however, I am using Bart's Multiple boot images (isolinux/memdisk) method (http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/) and I try to incorporate the method mention in Bootscriptor in Bart's method. I change my isolinux.cfg as label 5 kernel isolinux.bin winme.img label 6

Hi Peter, I'm using isolinux and memdisk to create a multiboot rescue cd for personal use as described on Bart's page (www.nu2.nu). One boot item is to boot DOS 7.1 from Win98SE with a lot of other staff for emergencies. This DOS bootimage puts all necessary stuff into it's own ramdisk (XMSDSK). Some progs on the ramdisk needs access to floppy drive A: and unfortunately I've no

Memdisk 2.08 cannot boot an XP boot floppy image (XP appears to use WinME boot files for its bootable floppy). For example: http://members.iinet.net.au/~bdriver/bootdisk/download.htm This disk will not boot with Memdisk (Memdisk starts to load the image and then hangs). I'm using Bart's tools to build a boot CD: http://www.nu2.nu/corpmodboot/ Which uses Isolinux and Memdisk.

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! I am already using isolinux & memdisk for making bootable cd-roms (with Bart's method - www.nu2.nu). My question is if memdisk can be used to boot a disk image, directly from hard disk - when in Dos mode. thank you, Adrian Tarog Scanare antivirus realizata de mailserver-ul Jolidon

Hey, Firstly i like to say good work on your project, I love the ability to use PXE to ghost all my machines without the use of floppy disks. Now i managed to setup PXE correctly using a copy of Barts Boot Disk's with ModBOOT and modified it to meet our company needs. This works perfect and i can ghost not a problem using the standard loader prompt boot: and inserting text depending on

Hi, I'm trying to use pxelinux+memdisk to boot to dos. And using dos tcp/ip connect to windows network. I've used winimage to create (dos.ima) image of dos bootable floppy. But when I type dos at boot: prompt, it doesn't boot to dos instead show a multi-coloured screen. At this moment ctrl+alt+delete also doesn't work. Pls help Jitender

Have been trying some things, but something isn't working at least with using Virtual Box with EFI option. With it off, the cd boots as normal, and works, but with EFI on, it has an error that flashes on screen, and then it drops to a shell prompt. I'm hoping it is just a dumb mistake I am making, and can be resolved. Perhaps I've named the directories incorrectly, or there is a

Hi I would like to start a iso from my USB-Pendrive so I got a Hiren BootCD amd PartedMagic iso + GRUB 2 (1.98~20100115-1) on my USB-Pendrive. My problem it take up to 30sec until the ISO is booted my menu entry: linux16 /memdisk iso initrd16 /boot/iso/pmagic.iso Thanks for any hints M.

Hi, I'm trying to build a boot CD following "Bart's way to create bootable CD-Roms (www.nu2.nu)" using isolinux and memdisk. The image I'm trying to boot is built containing IBM's PC-Dos. This works perfectly on 2 of my machines, but the 3rd fails. I get all the 'normal' memdisk messages, finishing with: Loading bootsector... booting... Non-System disk or

Hi Peter, You did a great job on the isolinux and memdisk tools.. I can know, I've also written a CD-Rom disk emulator, only it's slow (read from the CD) uses 22KB conventional memory (mainly cache) and the emulated floppy image cannot be written to. http://www.nu2.nu/diskemu/ You're memdisk is fast, small conventional memory footprint and the emulated drive is writeable, very,

Hey all, I'am able to use pxelinux to successfully boot a particular kernel and image on various IBM PC's ex. 6287-41U and 6591-34U. However, using the same setup (ie. dhcp, tftp, pxelinux.0, pxelinux.cfg, networkcard, bootrom, ram memory) on an IBM 6282-73U my kernel and image decompress fine but I'am getting a...
