HALLO, HOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO ACCESS FROM A DOS-BOOTDISK (VER.7.0) RUNNING ON A WINDOWS95-MACHINE TO A SAMBA-SERVER (WITHOUT STARTING WINDOWS). IF WIN95 IS RUNNING THE CONNECTION WITH THE SAMBA- NETWORK SERVER IS OK. (MS-NETWARE CLIENT AND TCP/IP) WHICH PARTS OF DRIVER, MANAGER, CLIENTS, PROTOCOLS ARE TO INSTALL ON THE MACHINE AN ON THE BOOTDISK? THANKS, PETER Mail: p_w@aon.at

I recently got a cheap PenDrive iVO which I'll be the first to admit is anything but perfect, but, a pretty decent player considering it's cost is that of the other players with half the memory. One of the things I was looking forward to was having a great bootable flashdrive with my favorite linux rescue image and a few other diagnostic/repair things. Unfortunately, since I tried to put

Sorry for the delay, I should not send email on an holiday week-end. I'll try to answer all the questions by explaining what does work for me right now, and what I'd like to do. I have a script to create the a USB stick or an ISO image. The boot media contains many DOS images, and I use versamenu to select one of them. If my DOS image is smaller than 8megs, everything is working fine as

Hi, I did found the problem, a combination of 2 factor. 1- I taught that I did install the latest syslinux, but in fact it was the 3.36 version. 2- Thank to kevin Connelly, he point me to a problem he got with mkdosfs command. The default FAT16 do not work, but the FAT12 do. By adding -F12 to the mkdosfs command fix the problem. The default F16 do seem to work for <8M floppy image. Thank you

I create a Bootdisk from Win98 with "sys a:" and the netsetup from the Microsoft FTP-server to have TCP/IP under DOS. I can map the shares from Samba to a drive with: "net use d: \\server\win98" The problem is that all long filenames are mangled, but not in the way DOS does it. The Folder "Program Files" does not become "Progra~1" but "Progr~4Z".

Memdisk 2.08 does not appear to be able to boot an XP DOS image (it starts to boot and then hangs). XP DOS appears to be borrowed from WinME (v4.90.3000). I was trying to make a multiple boot CD with Bart's method: http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/#multimemdisk but substituting Brads TCP boot disk instead of Barts: http://members.iinet.net.au/~bdriver/bootdisk/index.htm Brad uses XPs DOS as it

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

Hi, Quoting the memdisk.doc: Similarly, if you're booting DOS over the network using PXELINUX, you can use the "keeppxe" option and use the generic PXE (UNDI) NDIS network driver, which is part of the PROBOOT.EXE distribution from Intel: Does anyone know what this means? It sounds like a generic network driver for DOS exists. I have a copy of the PROBOOT.EXE, but I can't work

Hi all, I'm trying to get a pxeboot server up and running, according to the instructions on the WIKI (http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PXE/PXE_Setup & http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PXE/PXE_Setup/Menus) Here's my /tftpboot/pxepxelinux.cfg/default : default menu.c32 prompt 1 timeout 300 ONTIMEOUT local MENU TITLE PXE Menu label Dos Bootdisk MENU LABEL ^Dos bootdisk

Anyone know the correct syntax for specifying a floppy image in the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default file? I am trying to use: label Dos Bootdisk MENU LABEL Dos bootdisk FDIMAGE discimage.img But when I select it the menu, I get a message saying "Automatic boot in 30 seconds" and nothing happens. I would use: label Dos Bootdisk 2 MENU LABEL Dos bootdisk 2

Hello, I use a home made floppy to connect to a samba file server. The floppy is a Caldera DOS with the Microsoft Lan Manager Client. A:\NET>net ver Microsoft Network Management Dos Client. Version 3.11 And in the autoexec.bat file, there is a line : net start basic I cannot replace with with 'net start full' because there is not enough memory. When I connect on my samba server,

Hi All, I am following: http://www.linuxinsight.com/how-to-flash-motherboard-bios-from-linux-no-dos-windows-no-floppy-drive.html to make a bootable CD to flash my bios I get to mkisofs step, but what I get is not what I think I want. I dont understand if I unmount /tmp/floppy how the Mkisofs command of: mkisofs -o bootcd.iso -b FDOEM.144 FDOEM.144 how I get everything in /tmp/floppy Here is

I've recently returned to working on FreeDOS again after quite some time, and read about an unmerged MEMDISK branch that allows to boot DOS-based ISOs. This seemed quite usefull to me as it allows for faster modifications to my code/scripts/disklayout. The general idea was to install Syslinux 3.83 to harddisk, then add the modified Memdisk from that boot-land forum, as well as my ISO. In

Hi, is there an easy way to circumvent the SYSLINUX novice protection thing? intended users don't know about CTRL key to circumvent it. I'm trying to make a generic bootdisk for systems of 8086 - Pentium4. however the bootdisk is slow, so I'd like to use Syslinux + Memdisk to load a diskette image. then the text displayed to user will be: 1) FreeDOS bootdisk (accelerated, 386

as everyone deserves to know when things go wrong: i'm trying to flash the bios on my IBM T20 laptop. i've got a floppy image, and am attempting to use memdisk with grub to boot it via the following: title Flash T20 Bios root (hd0,0) kernel /memdisk root=/dev/md0 initrd /T20_flash_floppy.img that much WORKS. the interesting part is that the system becomes unresponsive RIGHT AFTER

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 using isolinux with memdisk to create a multi-bootable resource cd where I work. I have the Windows 98SE bootdisk created as an image and everything boots fine from the CD. However when I attempt to use fdisk, it asks about enabling large disk support and when I answer yes it dumps me back out to the prompt. Running fdisk /mbr reports 'no fixed disks present.' I made a

I have an application/program which shows 'bios EDD error' when using Isolinux (with either loading an image directly through MEMDISK, or booting to A:), and not when using a bootdisk directly or booting a bootdisk directly which has SYSLINUX on it. configuration: bootable cdrom with Isolinux 2.11/2.12pre9 as bootloader. 1.44MB bootdisk with MSDOS.SYS/IO.SYS and the UDMA2 dos driver,

Hi there, I am using memdisk with pxelinux, i have created ms-dos boot disk from windows xp, but when i boot from it stops on starting.... what is the problem can anybody tell me.. Regards, Yogesh
