[syslinux] memdisk : booting OpenBSD and NetBSD

[Kasper Fock]

Thanks for the answers.
I get pxelinux to boot pxeboot but it the hangs during the BTX.
 
it prints:
	TFTP.
	PXE Loader 1.00
 
 	Building the boot loader arguments
	 Relocating the loader and the BTX


If the pxeboot i loaded directly. (not using pxelinux it works fine)
My config file for pxelinux, to load pxeboot look like this:

	label freebsd
	KERNEL img/memdisk
	append ramdisk_size=100000 network load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 
initrd=img/freebsd5.2.1/pxeboot vga=788 root=/dev/ram


Is this the right way to load pxeboot from pxelinux? or does anybody have an 
suggestions to get this setup to work?
