[syslinux] booting memdisk from grub

hi, peter.

i wonder if you can help me with a problem i have. i am attempting to
use memdisk in conjunction with grub to boot dos floppy images over a
network. i realise that memdisk was designed to work with syslinux
rather than grub but i really need some of the extra features of grub
for my application.

i has some inital problems getting grub to load memdisk which turned out
to be grub performing agressive error checking (see
http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-grub/2002-April/007122.html). this is
now fixed and grub seems to load memdisk and the floppy image quite
happily. when it tries to boot, however, it just hangs.

is what i'm trying to do possible? if so, do you have aby idea what i
might be doing wrong?

thanks.
