Hello everybody,

I want to boot my HP x86 PCs with a Norton Ghost 12 boot disk image via PXE.
I followed all the steps but I have still the same message and the booted
computer hangs always.

0- I created the boot image.
1- A folder named tftpboot and tpftpboot\pxelinux.cfg created.
2- The pxelinux.0 copied in tftpboot folder.
3- memdisk copied in tftpboot folder.
4- the image file (norton.iso) copied in tftpboot folder.
5- a file named default created in pxelinux.cfg. here is the configuration

prompt 0
say booting...
label boot
kernel memdisk
append initrd=norton.iso

When the system boots, it is displaying dots (....) (I think it's expanding
the image) and the memdisk begins to load.

memdisk 3.62
command line: initrd norton.iso BOOT_IMAGE memdisk
Disk is hard disk 0;25072K;C/h/s 50144/1/1;EDD on
Loading boot sector... booting

and the computer freezes.

I tried this with all the image possibilities of Norton Ghost but it's still
the same.

Do you have any suggestion ?

Thanks in advance.
Mehmet
