My first impression: It works! (etherboot is still usable)
Thank you hpa!
I will do further tests and report the results.
Here is what happened (I used a 3com 905 tx-m NIC with PXE):
- pxelinux bootet memdisk
- memdisk loaded an image of a Windows98SE boot disk with the required
.com files (and without himem.sys/emm386; no autoexec.bat, no
config.sys, no drivers)
- I combined your program with the etherboot .com 5.3.8 UNDI driver and
started it.
- Etherboot loads my .nbi image of Thinstation Linux and it works
I have not checked whether the virtual floppy is really gone or not but
I will do it tomorrow (It is 2am here and I need some sleep).
