Syslinux - Nov 2006 - Etherboot floppy?

Hi guys,

  I have been trying to get a working copy a boot floppy to run Etherboot
to do a pex network boot.  I am completely lost. Infomation over load!

  I am using grub to load a zpxe and zdsk images.  The grub.conf looks like
this:
> # floppy
> 
> default=0
> boot=/dev/fd0
> timeout=30
>

> #terminal --timeout=2 serial console

  The eb.zpxe file does not load.  The zdsk file loads but the display has
nothing
readable on the screen, just random colors.

  Could someone point me to a working floppy configuation?

  Thanks for your time.

Using Grub is always a mistake :)

Furthermore, both images are wrong.

.zdsk are written directly to a floppy.

Use a .zlilo image if you want to use a boot loader.  I recommend 
syslinux/extlinux ;)
