[syslinux] Rebooting to hard drive from DOS floppy

[THUESON,TYLER (HP-Boise,ex1)]

Yes! That works perfectly.

I set jo.sys to a 1 second timeout, then put it on a bootable floppy under a
different name, say freejo.sys, so that it is not activated.

DOS boots normally, runs, and then I rename freejo.sys to jo.sys and run an
int19.com that I acquired elsewhere (which makes the PC reboot). With the
floppy still in the drive, jo.sys now makes the system boot to the hard
drive without user intervention.

Exactly what I wanted. Thanks a million Peter (and Bart!)!

Subject: [syslinux] Rebooting to hard drive from DOS floppy
 

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 


Hi all,

Do any of you have any ideas for getting a DOS floppy to reboot to the hard
drive (which may contain Windows 98 or XP or Linux or Novell etc etc)? I
want to use syslinux, but it does not support the localboot option like
pxelinux and isolinux do.

Basically, I want to boot DOS from a floppy, run some DOS stuff, then
reboot
to the hard drive while leaving the floppy disk in the drive. Loadlin would
be perfect if it supported OSes other than Linux.

Suggestions?

TIA!

Tyler
