Hi I'm using memdisk as part of CD Shell' isolinux. I've created custom floppy disk image 8440kB size. I've put FreeDOS kernel and bootsector into the floppy. Boot process goes fine with this command: isolinux /boot/memdisk initrd=/ximg/fdos.img c=60 h=8 s=36 floppy The problems begin when I try to run FreeDOS memory manager emm386 from the floppy image. my config.sys: ...

Hi everyone, Here is the problem: I have a server running Red Hat 5.2 and Samba-2.0.4 as file server for about 20 diskless machines with MSClient boot disks (created with NT server SP3). The server shares a dir with a Clipper/DBF database for those clients and the EXE file is in a NT machine. For weeks I've been trying to put the things together but the clients always break

Hello all, I plan to make an (emergency) multi OS bootable CD which contain: - Win98 boot floppy (create from Win 98 control panel, add remove program) - WinME boot floppy (create from Win 98 control panel, add remove program) - Linux boot disk - Win NT boot disk - Win 2000 recovery console - Win XP recovery console - Winternal Administrative Pak (ERD Commander etc) I am new to Linux and feel

I've searched the archives for an answer to this problem, and yet nothing that works seems to have been posted. I've seen it posted many times In my particular case, I'm running Samba 2.0.6 on Solaris 2.5.1, configured with the --with-smbwrapper, --with-automount, and --with-syslog options. I also have samba set up as a PDC, and that seems to be working fine. A stripped down

Hello, I am trying to update files on LDOM boot disk from Control Domain, but I can''t get it working fully. I have a setup that allows to quickly deploy LDOM guest domains. The Golden OS Image of guest domain boot disk is on a ZFS Volume. This ZFS Volume has been Snapshot and Cloned for the quick deployment of guest domains.

Hello I have create a bootdisk with isolinux. These cd load an initial ramdisk (75MB) as rootfs, start the init process and some service (e.g. network, inetd) and gives me a valid loginshell for working (recover the system from a backup). Now i found, that some of my machines cannot boot from cdrom (the controller doesn't support this). Q: Is it possible to create a floppy bootdisk, that

Hi, I'm trying to convert my PXE enviroment from the 3com to PXELinux but I've got a problem when loading a image created by 3com's utility. At first when I tried to launch the bootimages with memdisk but I had no luck Then I added a MBR to the images and now Norton Ghost can launch but it first gives me a Windows 98 bootscreen and my customized Universal Network Bootdisk can't

Hello, This situation is not strictly samba, but it is related. If people think it's off topic please respond privately. I've got a redhat9 samba server running samba 2.2.7 on to which i'd like to store some ghost images that i ghost from network machines. I'm using ghost 7.5 and i'm having problems getting the disks to connect to the server. The two cards are: Sis900

Hallo, I try to boot the windows 98 bootdisk via memdisk. It doesn't work completely. Booting a freedos FD image works, booting the windows 98 image works too. But the windows 98 boot disk then should extract the file "ebd.cab" with the file "extract.com", and that step fails. Is that a syslinux problem or a windows problem? Viele Gruesse! Helmut

Hello, I hope that I am applying this question to the correct place, if not I do apologise! I would like to create a boot floppy which mimics a PXE rom. In this instance I would like to boot very old non PXE NIC workstations and install them from our Windows RIS. Is it necessary that I create a some sort of full Linux boot cd to use for this purpose or is there a pre prepared boot disk already

It appears that the WinME/XP DOS boot disk links code into the INT 15h AH=87h "mover" function which crashes the system DELIBERATELY (it puts the system in a cli/hlt/jmp loop.) I first thought it was specific to MEMDISK, but it's not; calling this function under just about any circumstances from within this version of DOS seems to crash the system hard. It's possible

I and some other people have problems with running the freedos image included in Ultimate Boot CD (UBCD), when using memdisk for floppy emulation. Memdisk starts booting the image and freedos shows the following menu: 0 Boot Clean 1 Boot UMBPCI (silent) 2 Boot UMBPCI (optimal) 3 Boot UMBPCI (semi-defensive) 4 Boot EMM386 (optimal) 5 Boot EMM386 (semi-defensive) 6 Boot no UMB (defensive) 7 Boot

Hi.. Well i've tried each and every method to insert any winme command.com into any bootable image and its really giving me problems.... I even further tested the same image with reinserting the 98 command.com and the image worked just fine.. So acc to me the problem has to lie in me command.com as there is no real mode dos in ME.. Also try using umbpci.sys and lowdma.sys for managing

Hello , I trie to use xen 3.0.3 , on my config , and virtual machine with HVM does not work . For testing the hvm virual machine i had used some iso : (1) http://rescuecd.pld-linux.org/download/2006-06-25/x86_64/rescue.iso (2) http://rescuecd.pld-linux.org/download/2006-06-25/x86/rescue.iso (3) http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.0/fdfullws.iso (4)

> No. Big real mode is not real mode, and in particular > MEMDISK doesn't have the control over what mode transitions > the world outside MEMDISK performs. i understand. if only dos will be used (without himem, emm386 or something like that) that the cpu will be leaved in real mode, is that correct? and e.g. bios update would work... mfg johannes

When last we saw our hero, er, sysadmin, he'd found that the "noarch" BIOS update was, in fact, a self-extracting .exe file, and he'd extracted it. Finally getting the ok to take the system down, the following hilarity (for small values of hilarity) ensued. First, booting off unetbootin to freedos was fine... except it was try to guess which version - freedos + emm386 + himem,

Hi there, I have a client in a network using a samba-server that has to use MSDOS, because some software running on it needs a clean DOS. I installed the DOS-Client for TCPIP that is available from Microsoft V 1.0 and it works fine; the only thing is, that it takes so much memory below 640 K, that another program also running under DOS does not function correctly anymore. Maybe some of the
