I have been using pxelinux for quite a while to automagically build
linux boxes with great success. Thanks to everyone involved!
Now, I am trying to download a floppy image and get that to boot.
My conf file looks like:
default sir4
label sir4
kernel ia32/memdisk
append initrd=ia32/sir4/floppy.img
Everything starts off fine.
pxelinux loads
I see it get the conf file.
gets memdisk
get floppy.img
loads memdisk
......
Disk is floppy
.....
INT 13 08: Sucess, count=1 BPT=f000:b6cc
old: ....
new: ...
Booting...
Nothing happens after that.
This is a straight dos6.2 floppy just for a test.
This is on a dual PIII 800 IBM 6866 box.
It just tried it on a P4 2.0Ghz IBM 6229 box and it works great.
I would like to do this on many models of machines from PII's to P4's.
All of the machines will pxelinux fine loading linux.
Anyone have any ideas?
