Hello Peter,

is it possible to boot a CD-Image of a bootable CD (no disk emu) via pxe.

I've build up the infrastructure to boot normal floppy images via PXE
(under W2K and/or Netware).
I have a ISO image of the bootable CD (1 tack TAO eltorinto with an a
single boot sect -> bootimage is 2kB, ISO image about 600 MB)

I suspect that a combination of MEMDISK and PXELINUX with activated UNDI
support will be needed MEMDISK may be the Kernel and the ISO image will be
the initial RAMDISK.

Do I need a bootsector from the CD and how do I get it (I know the LBA
Adress). Do I need other thing.


It would be nice if you have a clue how to do.

Yours sincerely

Peter Leenders
