installing syslinux on a fresh system (SATA)
Thanks but I am still in the same spot : 1) I have created a partition (ext2 with GParted). 2) Now what ? I was thinking that I should install syslinux (the bootloader). All the examples say something like "syslinux --directory /boot/syslinux/ --install /dev/sdb1" but this does not make any seance, because the is no /boot on the system. I have tried it anyways, but the

installing syslinux on a fresh system (SATA)
Hi I understand you (mostly). 0) How do i "install the MBR code as well and to activate your partition." 1) "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" -->> successfully completed. 2) "mkdir /mnt/extlinux" -->> successfully completed. 3) "extlinux --install /mnt/extlinux" -->> does not work. Funny, but it it seems that there is no such thing as

installing extlinux on image files
Hi, is there any way to install extlinux on a _not_ mounted ext4 image? I can easily write the extlinux.sys manually to a fixed inode, and prepend a prebuild mbr, but is there anything else i am missing? patch_file_and_bootblock does a couple of magic things, that are beyond me. The devices are simple images that run in virtualbox, so do i really need all of the blocksize magic? thanks.

keeppxe+memdisk+FreeDOS example?
Hi, I'm trying to get the above working, without success so far: UNDIS.DOS refuses to load with an invalid NDIS stack message (from memory). keeppxe has some effect: it reduces the available conventional memory by 140 kbytes or so... still, the packet driver doesn't seem to find the interface. Does anybody have a working setup I could look at? -- Thanks, Feri.

[tftpd PATCH 0/5] pidfile option and syslog fix
Hi, This is my current patch queue. The patches are independent, AFAIK, so feel free to cherry-pick or reject them independently. The bottom one was needed for a successful build here; the top one contains all the modifications you requested on IRC, and more. Meanwhile I hit one of the four stray TABs in tftpd.c, and decided to get rid of them. Comments welcome. --- Ferenc Wagner (5):

EFI build problems
Hi, The internal Gnu-EFI build gives me grief: * efi/check-gnu-efi.sh: uses realpath, which is not available on my Debian wheezy system. I now use readlink -f, but wonder if it's needed at all. * efi/build-gnu-efi.sh: uses realpath, like above, and also pushd/popd, which is not built into a standard Bourne shell invoked by #!/bin/sh. Again I wonder what's the point of it, as

Paravirtualized Debian (on CentOS host)
In order to create a paravirtualized guest/DomU, should i use the same distro as the host/dom0 is? Or is it possible to install a paravirtualized Debian (as a guest / DomU) into a CentOS (host / Dom0) ?
