[syslinux] help: booting dos from syslinux/memdisk

[Thomas Baumann]

Thanks for Remko for his help to solve the fractional cylinder problem.
But there is the second problem, the boot disk failure (see below << [B])

...
command line: initrd=disk.img harddisk c=2 h=256 s=63 BOOT_IMAGE=memdisk
Disk is hard disk, 16128K CHS=2/256/63                         <<<< [A]
...
Loading boot sector... booting...

SYSLINUX 2.04
welcome!
boot: 1
[single dot]         ... this seemed to be the problem for cutting my mail!
boot disk failure                                              <<<< [B]
      ### here it hangs.

Question [B]:
It seems syslinux cannot take the correct bootsector from dos.bss
then it hangs and does not boot,  although I have
command.com and ibmbio.com etc. (see ls output).
How can I boot ?

My syslinux.cfg looks like this:
SAY welcome!
PROMPT 1
TIMEOUT 600
DEFAULT 1
LABEL 1
  KERNEL dos.bss


Thanks for your help or hints in advance!!!!

Thomas.
