hey, Ive got your syslinux booting a floppy disk that boots an image via
NFS just fine and dandy..
default linux-jason
prompt 1
display boot.msg
timeout 100
label linux-jason
kernel vmlinuz
append append=root=/dev/nfs rw
nfsroot=xx.xx.xx.xx:/var/local/user/thinpc,rw,v3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,udp,nolock,posix
vga=792 ip=dhcp
label linux-egg
kernel vmlinuz
append append=root=/dev/nfs rw
nfsroot=xx.xx.xx.xx:/export/save/thinpc,rw,v3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,udp,nolock,posix
vga=792 ip=dhcp
but when I try to put this onto an iso image and boot it, it fails..
Here is my mkisofs command
mkisofs -o /home/jason/burnme.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c
isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table
/home/jason/mp3s (all on one line)
and my dir looks like this
[jason at zim mp3s]$ pwd
/home/jason/mp3s
[jason at zim mp3s]$ ls -al
total 1128
drwxr-xr-x 4 jason jason 4096 Feb 12 22:23 ./
drwxr-xr-x 59 jason jason 4096 Feb 13 09:37 ../
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 186 Feb 12 22:23 boot.msg*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 944611 Feb 12 22:23 vmlinuz*
(note, the isolinux.bin is directly from isolinux.)
but when I boot the CD, all I get is
Syslinux.. Copyright (C) 1994-2001 H. Peter Anvin
Could not find kernel image: linux
boot:
what am I doing wrong?
regards,
Jason
