hi: we can create big floopy image under linux. just use mtools. i edit /etc/mtools.conf, then use dd to create a emtpy image, then use mformat to format the image and make it bootable. i now use a 20MB floppy image with memdisk.

Dear Sir, I am trying to create a multiboot cd that will supposr the following: 1. Linux RedHat 7.2 2. Windows 2000 Professional 3. Windows 2000 Server 4. Windows 2000 Advanced Server I get it right, but to have the Linux image on the same cd and to boot from it is a problem. Here's what I did: First I created a bootable cd with the windows images and used the El-Torito standard based

Hi! At first thanks for your great work! I started to make multiboot CDs 1,5 years ago, with Bart Lagerweij 's utils. I have a problem with the memtest86 floppy image, made by the authors in the .zip file, downloadable from it's homepage, when I use diskemu. Some days ago I found on Bart's page a new method to select boot images on CD with syslinux/isolinux/memdisk. I thought this is

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,

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,

Hi all, I love syslinux!! It works great. Problem. GHost 8.x and higher... With ghost 7.5 and earlier I was able to boot floppy images from my tftp server. But as you all know Ghost 8.x and higher had a bloated ghost.exe that does not fit on a single 1.44mb floopy image file. Has any one had any luck in getting ghost 8.x and higher to work with syslinux and memdisk? I have tried to create over

Hi, Does Xen HVM support the the "disk" option that can attach a FAT partion or a floppy image like the qemu? In qemu, we can do it with the option "-hda fat:/root/tmp/" and "-fda /root/floopy.img". Any reply is appreciated. Thanks, Bei Guan _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com

Hi, I'm sorry to bring this up again but I can't quit get this too work. I'm trying to build a 2.88 floppy image so that I can use PXE to load Ghost. I'm useing the following to get a copy of the bootsector: dd if=/dev/fd0 of=bootblock bs=512 count=1 Then I build the image file with: mformat -C -t 160 -s 18 -h 2 -B bootblock x: Then use mcopy to put the required

Hi List, I run XEN 2 since some month (unfortunatly installed by a fiend of mine). Recently I bought some new hardware and tried to get XEN 3 running on a Debian Sarge 3.1. I installed via the Debian installer a RAID 1 with LVM. even though there are some devfs_mk_dir errors systems comes up. Now I installed XEN but system doe not boot as the boot device seems not to be recocnized by the

Hi Peter, I noticed in your isolinux.asm code, when loading spec packet fails you are trying to wing it, in other word, loop the drive numbers from 0xff through 0x80 until the booted drive number is found... I write software that also "wings it". Recently I had to create some "wird" workarounds because of bad bios in some Dell and Compaq PC's. Below is my function for

hello, I have a problem about pxe booting. I have two isolated machines, one(server) has got dhcp and tftp servers working correctly ( I am pretty confident with this). The other machine (client) using floopy to boot with pxe-request. The problem is, the client cannot get the bootfile("/tftpboot/pxelinux.0"), it always report no boot filename found. I also found the IP address, which

First off, Thank you for pxelinux. It works as expected and for my needs it is a most useful project. I apologize in advance for posting this question as it is in part off topic, but I have searched extensively with little results. Are there any alternatives to memdisk for use with pxelinux for booting troublesome floppy images with such applications that fail to use INT 15h, AX=E820h. Having

To install the package: yum --enablerepo=virt-xen-VV-testing xen-vixen Where VV is '44', '46', or '48', depending on which version you're using. (It's the same package for all versions.) This will install the xen-vixen "shim" binary, as well as the pvshim-converter script. See XSA-254 [1] for detailed information about who should use it, why, and

Hello All: I've recently had to provision some RHEL and CentOS VMWare instances. There was no network connectivity so I had to use a kickstart floppy and DVD iso rather than installing from our repository. To create the floppy I used the following: As root: dd if=/dev/zero of=floppy.flp bs=1k count=360 mkfs.vfat floppy.flp mount -o loop floppy.flp /mnt/floppy cp base_kickstart.ks

At: http://www.serverelements.com/naslite.php the following command is supplied near the bottom: **fdformat /dev/fd0u1722 ** I have plugged in my USB floppy drive and have a /media/floppy I get no such file or directory with this command. And what is this with a 1722 formatted floppy. What I do a man fdformat, 1722 is not listed....

Hi, I've made some (small) changes to your isolinux 1.67 to support loading of .bin files. For example to load NT cdrom bootsectors, or other raw loaders... Size is fixed to 1 sector (2KB). Extension must be ".bin". Loading address is fixed to (default) 0x0:0x7c00. All my changes are marked between tags: <bart>...</bart> Just thought I'd send it to you do with it
