similar to: fd.c32 and dos622

Is there a way to tell pxelinux to boot to floppy. I need an option in my comboot menu for this. Thanks Aaron

I am using the following simple menu and have noticed that items at the bottom are dropping off. I seem to be limited to 12 items. Is there a limit to how many items can be on the simple menu? default pxelinux.cfg/menu.c32 prompt 0 MENU TITLE UWSP PXE Boot Menu # TIMEOUT 200 LABEL bartpe MENU LABEL Build 12 KERNEL /STARTROM.0 APPEND keeppxe LABEL 11dnet MENU LABEL Build 11DNET beta

Hi all, I want to create a bootable DOS 6.22 image for pxelinux + memdisk. The following is my steps, anyone who knows what wrong with them? 1. Create image from a bootable floppy dd if=/dev/fd0 of=dosboot.img dd if=/dev/fd0 of=dos.bss bs=512 count=1 mount -o loop -t msdos dosboot.img /mnt/image cp dos.bss /mnt/image umount /mnt/image 2. config file in pxelinux.cfg folder

I'm running into some issues with regard to isolinux and memdisk, and am not sure where to ask/look in the best way possible. These are DOS-related issues. So here goes: * Can MEMDISK map a imagefile (compressed? harddisk?) to more than (and/or beyond) 4GB of memory? Say you'd have 8/16GBGB and want 4GB available to the user so might as well use the other 4/12GB for MEMDISK. Or max

Hello, The following is a comparison of 4.06 and 5.00pre8 behaving differently. I made a floppy image with Syslinux 4.06. I installed ldlinux.sys with: syslinux --directory /boot/syslinux/ --install /dev/fd0 and I added pwd.c32 to the same directory, but I intentionally did not build a syslinux.cfg file. While testing the floppy image in a VM, it correctly boots to the Syslinux boot

If I sound bitchy it is only as

I have been trying to find the information by searching through the archives and google, so I am sorry if this question has been asked before I just have not been able to find an answer. I have a syslinux boot floppy which loads to the boot prompt, I wish to load a .gz image which is on my hd0 0 by using memdisk as the kernel. I have tried to kernel memdisk append root=/dev/hd0 0 (also just

Hi, I am trying to use the Simple Menu system for SYSLINUX/ISOLINUX, but it fails to work. The menu apper, I can select menu entries, but pressing "ENTER" just takes me back to start. It seem like menu.c32 just reloads. Pressing Space does almost the same, exept the selected item is the one on the bottom instead of the top. By pressing ESC and getting back to command line, I am able

It is now possible to build a bootable floppy image which contains HDT, with my patch applied to Erwans HDT branch: http://git.zytor.com/?p=users/erwan/hdt.git;a=commit;h=16b37fe2266c920087f88cdec94243b71218d871 Unpack the Syslinux archive and build whole Syslinux first, then cd to ./com32/hdt/ and make hdt.img $ make $ cd ./com32/hdt/ $ make hdt.img Now you have a 2.88 MB floppy image which

Hello all, I have a few questions about the menuing system that I haven't been able to find in the archives (it would be nice if they were available in a searchable form other than having to click on a month-by month basis and read through them - if they are searchable I would love to find a way to do this but it hasn't jumped out at me). My first question is : What is menu.c32? I

Trying to be not long, on x86 I have 3 floppies images boot, root-1, root-2 Booting from boot image with no problem, I try reading root-1 and root-2 image in raw format. Reading root-1 and root-2 is made from boot init script, using klibc-1.5.9 or klibc-1.5.10 with debian insmod patch, and a vanilia linux-2.6.24.7 root-1 and 2 images are smaller than 1440 kB and are made the same way with cd

Hello, many of our platforms do not have a integrated floppy, some even don''t have a floppy controller. As pxelinux still has a problem with machines without a floppy in combination with some bios versions I need to chainload a different bootstrap loader which works on the floppyless platforms. But I also need to load a BartPE and the other BS loader does not support that. So I tried to

Hi - daft one for Friday morning coffee break: I have been trying to mount floppies on a couple of CentOS5 servers - the usual "mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy" (yes, /mnt/floppy exists!). On both servers, the mount command just doesn't come back and I have to hit CTRL-C. I have tried different media and also changed the floppy drive on one server, /dev/fd0 is seen as present on both

Thanks for your response, and how would you suggest that one would fix that? It hangs in the boot process! woody ==================== From: Christopher Clark <christopher.w.clark@gmail.com> [Add to Address Book] [View Source] To: "tarawa1943@comcast.net" <tarawa1943@comcast.net> Cc: xen-devel@lists.xensource.com Subject: Re: [Xen-devel] xen-unstable dom0 boot "Floppy

<..trying again after changing outgoing e-mail options to avoid bad headers...> I'm trying to use syslinux 3.08-pre11 on a Gateway E4000 with the (sample) config file below, and the ramdisk images fail to boot if selected as a menu option, but do boot if I press ESC and type the command line manually. The two options are for the same floppy image, but the first is compressed, the

I'm integrating DBAN (http://dban.sourceforge.net/) into our PXE boot menu system (using vesamenu.c32) but it just hangs when I'm using vesamenu.c32 and confusingly when I revert our menu system to using vesa.c32 it works ok. I've stripped out any extraneous configuration but it still seems to have the same problem. When I use this in pxelinux.cfg it boots into DBAN ok: default

sorry - i must have overlooked the part where you mentioned that.. my fault. What software are you looking at ? Altiris maybe ? I am, ofcourse interested in the option you are looking for. Please keep this list updated.

Hello! ethersel.c32 does not seem to work with all PCs. I have prepared a floppy that uses ethersel.c32 to load a NIC-specific file (etherboot .zlilo image). See http://etherboot.anadex.de for details. It works with every NIC and every PC I own, but not with VMWare. I know VMWare has some problems, so that did not bother me at all and I published it anyway but I have received several e-mails

Goodness, how many prereleases has there been in the last week... have lost count... Anyway, I have implemented the already-promised chainbooting API, and have included a sample program to chainboot floppies (it works for harddisks too, but only for the MBR.) As a bonus, in the process I actually discovered that booting .bs/.bss images under SYSLINUX was actually broken... that has been
