I guess this really isnt the right place to be posting this it's probably the best place for me to find the answer. I would like to know if any of you are doing windows 2000/2003 installs over PXE and if so how you had it setup. I've done some searching on google and mostly found info about somthing called RIS or RAS or whatever.... it required a windows box and thats not a option.. I

I've been attempting to create a bootable image thats double the size of the 2880 floppy disk. I can do the following to create a image that will boot with memdisk but i cant seam to get it to work with a larger size. What works... dd if=/dev/zero of=floppy288.img bs=1024 count=2880 mkdosfs floppy288.img ms-sys -1 -f floppy288.img mount -o loop floppy288.img /mnt

Hi all, We are hoping to update our BIOSes remotely with pxelinux and memdisk (it is for a 600 node Beowulf cluster with no floppy access). The DOS floppy loads and starts, however somehow the flash utility 'phlash.exe' or 'phlash16.exe' are both unable to load the provided rom image and just stop doing nothing. It looks like it can't access the rom image somehow, which is

Hello, I'm trying to boot a dos floppy stored on a disk image which is initially loaded over pxe using memdisk. I've created the disk image as follows: dd if=/dev/zero of=$IMGLOCATION/$IMGNAME bs=$(( 1024 * 1024 )) count=20 LOOPDEV=$(losetup --show -f $IMGLOCATION/$IMGNAME) MAJOR_MINOR=$(ls -l $LOOPDEV|awk '{print $5$6}'|sed 's/,/:/') DMSIZE=$(( $(ls -l

Using memlinux I have been able to PXE boot an image I created from one of our DOS boot floppies. It works quite well. I am unable to figure out how to build a larger disk image however. It appears you can use a 2880k floppy without having to pass special options. My attempts so far have failed. Has anyone done this before? I would like to convert the working disk image I have (1.4 meg) to a

Good day Ercolino, Are you using the ELTORITO.SYS DOS CD-ROM drive driver? You should be, if you're using MEMDISK. You might also enjoy some of the discussion here[1]. Also, as an aside, you can create an 8 MB superfloppy image which could contain your BIOS/firmware upgrade. Maybe search the mailing-list archive for "superfloppy". Have a nice day. - Shao Miller [1]

So I have a few questions. I have already made the base part of making a windows TFTPD running with memedisk. So that part works, but what I was wondering, if there is a way to some how add an option to the config file. What I have is something like this: label winstall kernel unattended/memdisk append initrd=unattended/winstall.imz That all works great, However, for each image, I have

Hi, I am aware that it is impossible to netboot ISO files through pxelinux/memdisk and that there are multiple reasons for not even attempting it (like the operating system which will try to access a physical optical drive through its own drivers anyway, BIOS issues etc.). When people ask questions regarding ISO support in pxelinux/memdisk, they're mostly told to convert the ISO into a

For the boot floppy at http://superkeen.com/peacecorpsfiles/FUZOMA14.IMG using memdisk from syslinux version 3.72 boots correctly, but for memdisk versions newer than 3.72 (I tested 3.73, 3.75, 3.85, and 3.86) all hang at boot with the following message: Loading boot sector... booting FreeDOS kernel - SVN (build 2039 OEM:0xfd [compiled Oct 2 2009]) Kernel compatibility 6.22 - BORLANDC ...

Hello! Is it possible to load a virtual DOS Floppy with memdisk to do a few things (e.g. scan for viruses, copy a hard disk image from the network to the local disk) and continue booting from the local hard disk without a reboot? Cheers Alex

Hi! I've got a USB key with several tools (small linux, memtest86+) booting via syslinux. But now I have to add powermax.exe (a MSDOS tool to test Maxtor disks) on this key. As I've always been on Unix/Linux system, I don't know what to do to run powermax.exe from syslinux. I've made a boot floppy disk and tried to copy everything on my usb key and put the command.com in kernel

I'm trying to use this universal DOS TCP/IP boot disk available here: http://members.iinet.net.au/~bdriver/bootdisk/ It requires an MS-DOS formatted disk created by Windows XP. It works great as a floppy but doesn't boot at all with memdisk. The problem can be simplified down to just the XP boot disk. If you make an MS-DOS startup disk with XP on a floppy, dd the floppy to an image

Hello list, My set up is almost complete in booting DOS through PXELinux, but I need to create a DOS boot image from (2 )DOS floppies. I've search the archives and google but didn't find any relavant info... My current set up now works with the standard setup (with one DOS floppy): kernel: memdisk append: initrd=floppy.img ramdisk=10000 My goal to is create a floppy.img from 2 DOS

I have tried to get this working SO many times, everywhere I look on the web tells me i have this correct.

Hi All, Just a heads up - I was looking around the Cisco FTP a little while ago and noticed that the SIP 7.2 images for Cisco IP Phone 7940/7960 were released yesterday (16th August). No new features - all bug fixes according to the release notes. I've already started using it. I thought those of you running the Cisco phones and the appropriate access who didn't yet know would like to

Hello! I like to PXE boot the 'Dell 32 Bit Diagnostics' tool. I can create a harddisk image with the linux download package. The README of the Package gives an example how to create an memdisk entry for the pxelinux menu system: <quote> Create a Bootable HDD Image File Use of the resulting image to perform a Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) boot into the diagnostics

Hi! I have been using pxelinux with memdisk to boot our workstations with our custom floppy, which is a MSDOS boot disk (actually it is win98) On one of the PC's I'm testing, a Fujitsu-Siemens which has an AMDtek based on-board network card and when PXE is activated, it gets an IP from the DHCP, then it finds the TFTP server, downloads pxelinux.0, executes it which causes the floppy to

Here is a section of my dialplan (macro) exten => s,200,Wait(1) exten => s,201,read(holdopt|screen-onhold|1) exten => s,202,GotoIf($[${holdopt} = 1 ]?4) exten => s,203,GoTo(200) it's simple really it loops telling you the caller is on hold until you press 1 and then it sends you off to another area. The problem right now is that if the read() times out i get these warnings...
