I have been using pxelinux for quite a while to automagically build linux boxes with great success. Thanks to everyone involved! Now, I am trying to download a floppy image and get that to boot. My conf file looks like: default sir4 label sir4 kernel ia32/memdisk append initrd=ia32/sir4/floppy.img Everything starts off fine. pxelinux loads I see it get the conf file. gets memdisk get floppy.img loads memdisk ...... Disk is floppy ..... INT 13 08: Sucess, count=1 BPT=f000:b6cc old: .... new: ... Booting... Nothing happens after that. This is a straight dos6.2 floppy just for a test. This is on a dual PIII 800 IBM 6866 box. It just tried it on a P4 2.0Ghz IBM 6229 box and it works great. I would like to do this on many models of machines from PII's to P4's. All of the machines will pxelinux fine loading linux. Anyone have any ideas? -- Intel, Corp. 5000 W. Chandler Blvd. Chandler, AZ 85226
