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 ibm_fw_bios_m9e144a_anyos_i386.img
[...]
PXE boots, I select this image, and I get the following error upon botting
this .img file:
boot: update_bios_img
Invalid image type for this media type!
boot:
Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!
Daniel

Good day L?VAI D?niel,
You asked about using a 1.44 MB floppy disk image using the FDIMAGE keyword in
your PXELINUX config-file. In syslinux/doc/comboot.txt, we see a hint that
FDIMAGE is only relevant for ISOLINUX.
Please use MEMDISK, as follows:
$ cat pxelinux.cfg/default
[...]
LABEL update_bios_img
MENU LABEL ^BIOS Update (img)
KERNEL memdisk
INITRD ibm_fw_bios_m9e144a_anyos_i386.img
[...]
You will need for the "memdisk" file (from syslinux/memdisk/memdisk)
to be available in your TFTP service directory.
Good luck!
