similar to: pxelinux on a cdrom - possible?

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

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

Hi, The link given in your http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php#config page points to the http://www.argontechnology.ca/rbfg/index.shtml site. This site talks only of Win2k and .Net server. There is no mention of GNU/Linux. Is it possible to use rbfg.exe to create a pxelinux bootable stack on a floppy. If so how ? Rom-O-Matic has a pxe loadable ROM image. Is there a way to use this to

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

Hi there, we are using a couple of Diskless Linux Workstations in conjunction with PXE capabable Network cards to boot the system. This works fine using pxelinux. However, there are a few workstations left, which are not able to boot via PXE and thus this workstations need a Kernel on a floppy disk and an additional initrd image. The Problem with is, that both of them don't fit on a floppy

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

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, I have been trying to boot a PC based terminal using your PXELINUX project and I am having a problem. The Terminal (a Netier NetXpress XL2000) has a m-systems Disk-On-Chip 2000 flash memory module which is normally used to boot a cut-down version of WinNT. I work in a repair department where we often have to open up these terminals and temporarily install a hard-drive to reflash the

Hello there. I use (and love!) your syslinux software - also pxelinux and soon isolinux. I have been using it for build deployment purposes for some time now, however I recently updated my kernel and added some additional drivers to it, making it too large to fit on a floppy along with my ramdisk. This is no problem for my PXE-enabled clients, of course, but for those machines that do not

Hello! I have been successful using SYSLINUX and Etherboot to create a generic "PXE-on-a-disk" package, a floppy image and CD image that support as many Ethernet cards as possible. These have support for all of Etherboot's modules that support real PCI cards: about 25-or-so drivers and 250-or-so cards. I've built Etherboot ZLILO images, one for each driver, set up to boot

This may be a better question for the Xen-Devel list, but I''ll start here... Does anyone know if there is any easy way to replace the gPXE ROM with a newer version in Xen? Also, anyone know if there are any plans to have some sort of option in the domU config file to specify a boot rom? Looks like qemu-dm has an "-option-rom" option - is there any way in Xen to make use of

Microsoft has their "boot" version of their iSCSI software initiator. Apparently this still requires that the network card be iSCSI Boot "enabled." Intel seems to be the only obvious company out there supporting it on their Server adapters - I was wondering if there are any thoughts/plans on implementing iSCSI Boot functionality in the HVM Boot ROM? Or maybe there''s

Hello, I got in a situation where pxelinux 3.7 (or 3.6) reboots constantly after loading the configuration file and displaying the 'display' option file, but never showing 'boot:' prompt. config file is following: # PXE SYSLINUX config file - look at # http://syslinux.zytor.com/faq.php for syntax # # ---------- This is gate configure file ------- timeout 20 prompt 1 display

HI there. Probably my message is a bit off topic but I do not know where else I could be asking. . I'm running a linux terminal server with one client provided with a 3C509B ISA card. I boot the later with a floppy bootable rom image taken from http://www.rom-o-matic.net/ Everything is working just fine. I decided to try to set up a PXE network boot (I'll needed it for installing a

HI zytor, I hope you can help me. I have above network chipset on a Mitsubishi im-2000 mobo. I don't see an actual chip on the mobo w/ this ID so I suspect it embedded in the mobo BIOS or in one of the 3 Intel chips. I am attempting to use LTSP to boot a workstation w/ above NIC chipset. It has imbedded boot to net software (Intel Landesk service agt v.99b) using PXE. I can't get it

Hi all, I have just been informed that Netboot (http://netboot.sourceforge.net/) can be used to produce PXE boot ROMs. I wonder if anyone has tried running this combination with PXELINUX? This is obviously a really big deal... :) -hpa

Is it possible to have a isolinux based boot CD, where one of the options is to boot off the network. This would mean, 1. The kernel that one boots into is on the network and not on the CD. So easy to make changes. 2. One does not need a 'PXE enabled' network card. - Murali
