hi there. I'm trying to boot several OSes floppy images from a cdrom via memdisk. Actually, Linux and FreeBSD boots fine, but, while i'm using the same method, I couldn't get into booting netbsd nor openbsd. The boot process seems to hang up, in those two cases, when the second stage native bootloader try to load the kernel (i'm not absolutely sure about this). The native first

Hello ALL, I've got a diskless server working (under Gentoo), booting on it works. (a linux session start with no problem.) My Big problem, is to get Memdisk to boot with PXE. In fact memdisk is loaded, but it cannot find the img file. I've tried a lot of thing, but nothing works... tftp use : /diskless the config file for PXE in then in : /diskless/pxelinux.cfg/ the root for the

Hello, I am attempting pxelinux via dhcpd/tftpd. If I use the system default tftpd daemon, then pxelinux loads but then complains about the tsize option. I've downloaded tftp-hpa-0.34, compiled and installed. I also edited inetd.conf according to README.security and then reloaded inetd. /tftpboot directory and all files and directories have nobody:nobody for permissions with at least read

Hi just a little question. Can I boot FreeBSD over network with pxelinux ?

I have been working with SYSLINUX/PXELINUX Mostly v.2.x recently v3.0 &v3.1 to remote-boot IBM PC's off of 1.44Floppy Images with great success. I have searched through several distributions and the SYSLINUX package seems to be by far the easiest to work with.. (thanks) My question would be: Is it possible to boot a diskless client PC with Complete hard disk images? or even better hard

hello and thanks for reading this, i am doing a volunteer project for a school in harlem,ny. they have had donated 30 nics computers from thinknic.com. it can pxe boot. it had a cdrom and it has no hard drive. i am looking for ways to boot windows98 on these machines. i read on some site that memdisk can be used on legacy os. before i spend days testing it out, is it possible to boot windows98

Hello H. Peter, we use pxelinux to start linux on desktop pcs. Now we have a problem with the interaction of dhcp. If the ip address is not fix, we cannot use the ip address as name for the configfile. A better solution would be, first to check for the mac and then for the ip address. Is it possible? TIA, Tobias

Hi all, I am new to Syslinux and Memdisk. I setup a PXE boot server that services an image file via memdisk. This works very well. However, I am trying to figure out as to where memdisk the image puts in memory? On the wiki page it says: "MEMDISK simulates a disk by claiming a chunk of high memory for the disk and a (very small - 2K typical) chunk of low (DOS) memory for the driver itself,

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.

Hi Aaron, i know it is not an interactive menu - but in my 'config' file i call for a textfile to be displayed : DISPLAY menu.txt that contains all my labels. See the first part of my 'config' : label 0 LOCALBOOT 0 label 1 KERNEL memdisk/memdisk APPEND initrd=images/w2k/unatt.ima label 2 KERNEL memdisk/memdisk APPEND

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 managed to boot diskless windows 98 clients using memdisk with etherboot and PXE hdd images. Unfortunately, I need my clients to run games and many refuse to work properly when windows is in do compatibility mode(e.g.. fifa 2005 and daemon tools for mounting cd images). Is there a way to to "make" windows 98 not use the compatibility mode ? I even searched for a commercial

Hi all, I'm trying to setup a TFTP server to serve as repository for the config of all my Cisco network devices. As per the the tftpd man, I've added the "-c" option into the /etc/ xinetd.d/tftp (as follows) but I still cannot get write access (unless the file is already present). [root at chl1 ~]# cd /etc/xinetd.d [root at chl1 xinetd.d]# cat tftp # default: off #

I am using pxelinux to boot a dos image using memdisk. Now what I'd like to do is connect via tftp and fetch an additional file from DOS. I am using the 'keeppxe' memdisk option; can I access the pxe stack from DOS, and retrieve the TFTP server address? I am using MS-DOS currently, and syslinux-1.76. -- Andre Dalle [andre at dalle.ca]

Hi Guys/Gals - I don't post here often but I read with interest all the postings. - I've been on a lot of mailing lists, but this one is by far the most interesting. I've been doing a lot of work with 'tftp' loading Cisco 79xx phones with firmware, configs. for asterisk, etc. And I see where a lot of folks have trouble with 'tftp', use alternate port numbers

Hello specialists In setting up a diskless X-Terminal I got stuck with the transfer of the ramdisk from the server to the target. With a ramdisk image size of about 60 Mb things go well, the file gets transfered completely and Linux boots perfectly. With a ramdisk image size of about 104 Mb the tftp transfer of the kernel succeds but the transfer of the ramdisk image fails. As tftp daemon I

Sensei H. Peter Anvin, I have successfully modified/enhanced memdisk so that one can chainload a local operating system after running diskless FreeDOS. I would like your advice regarding the appropriate interface for invoking this functionality. In addition, I would like to know what steps to take so that you feel comfortable considering including this in the standard syslinux distribution.

Hello... I have PXELINUX working nicely on FreeBSD, but I have exactly zero experience with Windows Server. What I would like to do is: Have PXE client connect to Windows DHCP server to get value "filename pxelinux.0" Have PXE client connect to Windows TFTP server to download pxelinux.0, display, pxelinux.cfg/default, memdisk, and appropriate initrd files (really bootable floppy

Hi, I am currently working with Memdisk. I setup a floppy disk that boots DOS and performs a VLM login into a NetWare Server.
