Hi!
At first thanks for your great work!
I started to make multiboot CDs 1,5 years ago, with Bart Lagerweij 's utils. I have a problem with the memtest86 floppy image, made by the authors in the .zip file, downloadable from it's homepage, when I use diskemu. Some days ago I found on Bart's page a new method to select boot images on CD with syslinux/isolinux/memdisk. I thought this is my solution! With LiLo I could start the memtest86 image from hardisk, but with diskemu I couldn't. The error number was 8000, and now it's the same when I tried to boot with isolinux/memdisk. A part of my isolinux.cfg:
label 5
kernel memdisk
append initrd=memtest.img
I read the source of syslinux-1.67 - syslinux-1.75, and the memdisk documentation segment of http://syslinux.zytor.com/ .
I think, I should to use a memdisk command line option "floppy" (?). How is it correct?
label 5
kernel memdisk
append initrd=memtest.img floppy
or
label 5
kernel memdisk
append floppy initrd=memtest.img
or any other?
Thanks!
