If I understand things correctly, a bootable floppy has two key pieces of executable code: the 512-byte boot sector, and the kernel loaded by that boot sector. The kernel can be large, and thus

For anyone else that runs into similar trouble and finds this thread, here follow summaries of what I've learned. To recap, our PXE server holds Dell BIOS updates in FreeDOS floppy images booted via MEMDISK.

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

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! 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

A kind request for help please. MEMDISK is causing an issue with the Dell OptiPlex GX280 and GX620 platforms. Booting a PC-DOS/Ghost, disk image is successful (and proper) when using version 3.83. See results below: MEMDISK 3.83: Ramdisk at 0x07eeaa00, length 0x007bc000 command line: initrd=images/ghostclient/280_620/osbootc.img BOOT_IMAGE=memdisk MEMDISK: Image seems to have fractional end

Hi! I'm trying to boot this kind of file: $ file ibm_fw_bios_m9e144a_anyos_i386.img ibm_[...]_i386.img: DOS floppy 1440k, x86 hard disk boot sector (This is a BIOS update boot image for the IBM X Series servers). I'm booting with PXE on the IBM machine, with this pxelinux.cfg: $ cat pxelinux.cfg/default [...] LABEL update_bios_img MENU LABEL ^BIOS Update (img) FDIMAGE

Has anyone been able to boot a bartpe image successfully using pxelinux or does anyone know if this is impossible? For those who don't know, bartpe is a legitimate way to make a trimmed down installation of Windows XP or Server 2003 using your installation media. For more information on bartpe see: http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder Basically the pebuilder gathers the minimum files needed to

Thanks for Remko for his help to solve the fractional cylinder problem.

forgive me.. i have no idea what im asking or if its possible... i have 2 partitions as follows and am using the std windows xp bootloader to boot xp - ntfs (windows xp) - fat16 stupid question is... can i use syslinux, isolinux, memdisk or some combo there of to place a bootable cdrom iso image on the fat16 partition and then have a boot menu with something to the effect of : 1) winxp as

I would like to boot FreeDOS ISO image from USB memory stick using syslinux.

Maybe I missed something here. What I want to happen is PXE boot on a timeout will boot to the hard drive. But, what happens is my comboot menu, which is default, loads right away and the ontimeout only happens when I escape out of the menu. My pxelinux.cfg/default: default menu timeout 100 ontimeout localboot # The Main Menu label menu kernel mainmenu.com append keeppxe #

Hi Folks, I've been playing around with SYSLINUX for a little bit; here's what I'm trying to do... My disk will have three partitions: [BOOT: (FAT16 w/ SYSLINUX)] [OS1] [OS2] OS1 and OS2 will both contain an XP Embedded system which is read-only and which will always boot from a hibernate file. What I'd like to be able to do if flip-flop between them at runtime (that is, run

Hi. I want to use PXELinux to build a dynamic boot menu for a computer lab. Sometimes, the machines need to be in Linux mode/Windows mode/allow the option of Linux/Windows. I configured this all fine with PXELinux. My problem is really one of security. Someone can plug in a laptop with a DHCP server, and tftp server and fake a lab machine to boot into any mode they desire, or even
