[syslinux] PXE Bootdisk

[Howard Young]

Hello,

I have read about the ether boot site but so far as I could tell (though I am not the sharpest tool in the box) it required that one purchase boot proms and I had no luck in finding a uk reseller; or at least one who charged a sufficiently low price i.e. £4 or less. This is why I hoped to created a 3.5" floppy boot disk which would effectively boot as though a pxe rom.

As much as I would love to dig out the old prom writer from the attic I think my manager would frown. , then give me a piece of paper saying go and work for someone else.

No doubt I have not understood the documentation on Ether boot? so I must ask if this is the case or is it possible to generate a boot floppy that readdresses its self as the bootrom - or something equally as beyond my own understanding but similar in function?

Tattered Regards

Howard

Either Microsoft's RBFG.exe, which comes with Windows Server (2000 and
2003, but with better hardware support in the latter), or
etherboot[1,2].


Cheers,
