similar to: Is it possible: dos image and other files on usb .. boot dosimage .. read other files

I will really hate myself if this has already been solved, i searched the archives but didn't really find anything pertaining to it. I have a 2.88mb dos boot floppy image, with ghost.exe, dos nic drivers, and dos system files. It works fine when burnt to a cd. As for the thumbdrive when trying to configure this hpghost.ima file to run from my syslinux.cfg menu, it works and boots up fine but

My thumbdrive w/Syslinux and memdisk doesn't work on my Thinkpad laptop. But the thumbdrive does work on desktop platforms. And .. if i use Grub4dos with Syslinux .. it works on the Thinkpad Laptop. Any assistance would be greately appreciated! Thanks! <<john>> ____________________________________________________________________________________ Access over 1 million songs

I am having the darnedest of times trying to get my WinPE to work off the syslinux loader. I used to use isolinux, and my isolinux config would just invoke the etfsboot.com file which i had renamed to loader.bin, and everything would work just fine off a cd. But now I'm trying to transfer all of my cd functionality to thumbdrives. With Syslinux, i have my syslinux.cfg file calling loader.bin

Hello, I'm investigating ways to boot a DOS floppy image stored on the FAT32 EFI System Partition using Syslinux and Memdisk. The system will be running Win8 using UEFI mode (GPT disks) and secure boot off. Change the Windows efi boot loader is the easy part... With the current syslinux's alpha version (6.0), is it possible to boot the syslinux's efi module from the FAT32 EFI

Hi, I'm trying to build a boot CD following "Bart's way to create bootable CD-Roms (www.nu2.nu)" using isolinux and memdisk. The image I'm trying to boot is built containing IBM's PC-Dos. This works perfectly on 2 of my machines, but the 3rd fails. I get all the 'normal' memdisk messages, finishing with: Loading bootsector... booting... Non-System disk or

Hello Peter, is it possible to boot a CD-Image of a bootable CD (no disk emu) via pxe. I've build up the infrastructure to boot normal floppy images via PXE (under W2K and/or Netware). I have a ISO image of the bootable CD (1 tack TAO eltorinto with an a single boot sect -> bootimage is 2kB, ISO image about 600 MB) I suspect that a combination of MEMDISK and PXELINUX with activated UNDI

I'm new to memdisk and I wanted to have multiple floppy boot images on my USB key, I installed GRUB2 as the boot loader and have memdisk in /syslinux and my images in /image, I first tried booting normal images, memtest86+ works, my linux kernel work and they boot perfectly. Now using memdisk, I tried booting Spinrite which uses FreeDOS, it booted fine with no argument them frozen at querying

I have been using memdisk (version 3.82) with no problem. I use it to boot my x86 computer with a compressed image I created/modified from an original DOS floppy bootable diskette. The original size of the image is 2.44 MB. I tried memdisk (version 3.83) and the bootable image gets uncompressed, bu the computer locks up and the las two lines in my screen are: Loading Boot Sector... Booting...

Hi, I'm doing a small hobby project writing some tools to put DOS boot images and Linux rescue images on a USB stick. For this I have partitioned my USB stick in 2 partitions, one 192MB partition with a VFAT filesystem (for the normal use) and a second partition with an ext3 filesystem. My aim was to provide a graphical menu (grub) to access the different images using memdisk. Since

Hi! sorry for the top post. I have had some troubles in the past trying to make equipment to boot a floppy with MS-DOS that also used ms networking to access the network. Particularly the Gateway GSX 500 cannot have the onboard NIC with PXE enabled, as it eats about 92k of highmemory, which in turn makes impossible to start Windows XP setup due to low memory. On that particular machine I had

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

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

Here is the script I put together now. I hope I haven't overlooked anything. You might need to modify the first section of variables to suit your setup. Ofcourse you need to run this as root. May be some version of this should be included with syslinux? Basically given an existing floppy image, it creates a larger image and copies its contents over and sets up the bootsector of the

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

Hi list! I'm trying to make a hd image with can boot from memdisk over PXE. So this is what i did: - Created a new VM [VMware] -Installed DOS on a 100MB HD from a floppy -bootet Linux over PXE [DamnSmallLinux] -in terminal: dd if=/dev/hda of=dos.img This image [dos.img] isn't working! Memdisk loads the Image and boots the HD! The error message is something like this: I/O Device

I've been poking at this for quite a while, and have never been able to get it to work. I've found a couple links with some partial truths: ? http://syslint.com/syslint/how-to-make-a-usb-boot-disk-for-centosrhel-from-iso-file/ ? http://brakkee.org/site/2013/05/09/creating-a-usb-install-for-centos-6-4/ The first one talks about converting a standard iso to a 'hybrid' image, using:?

Hi all Is there a procedure to use an 8GIG thumbdrive to copy the centos 5.2 dvd contents to the thumbdrive then run isolinux (or something like it) and be able to use the thumbdrive as the install media? Seems like it should work, however my machine only has syslinux not isolinux. yum provides isolinux does not return anything. Anyway I was trying to get to a point where I can just stick a

Hi We have a couple of FSC Computers here which seem to have a very strange bios. I am trying to boot a MS-DOS disk to flash an Scsi Raid controller. Since the computer doesn't have a floppy anymore I tried syslinux from an usb stick. The menu loads fine but I cannot boot disc images with memdisk on this computer. It works fine on others, of course. But now comes the weird part, if I use the
