[syslinux] Pxelinux/memdisk with Universal TCP/IP Network Bootdisk floppy
Just for the record, I want to let the list know that I succeeded in booting a modified Universal TCP/IP Network Bootdisk floppy from http://members.iinet.net.au/~bdriver/bootdisk/ I started with a Win98 Bootfloppy from http://www.tobs.uku.co.uk. Then I made a disk image from this, using dd.exe from cygwin. Then I converted this disk image from 1.44MB to 2.88MB with winimage. Then I copied the files from the Universal TCP/IP Network bootdisk to the image, by mounting the file on a linux computer (mount -t vfat -o loop Win98tcp.img Win98tcp). I added mem.exe to the files.cab, using EXTRACT.EXE and CABARC.EXE from http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;310618 I also added ntfsdos.exe from http://www.sysinternals.com/files/ntfs30r.zip. I added emm386.exe to the floppy image, and added the following to CONFIG.SYS device=emm386.exe /noems I use pxegrub from grub 0.94 on my tftp server, I have the following in my GRUB menu: title Win98 Network Bootdisk root (nd) kernel /memdisk initrd /Win98tcp.img The memdisk is from syslinux-2.08 (http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/syslinux-2.08.tar.gz) After booting I'm left with about 350 KB free memory... _________________________________________________________________ Vraag van de week: Welk soort project zou jij financieel ondersteunen? http://www.msn.be/microsoft/potential/default.asp
