[syslinux] pxelinux on a cdrom - possible?

[Harald_Jensas at Dell.com]

Here,

http://www.rom-o-matic.net

You can create and download images to write to floppy to do PXE boot, and eaven ISO images to do the same..

You need to know the make, model, and PCI ID for the NIC in the system you are too boot.



Else you could use the Microsofts RBFG.EXE tool:

Remote Installation Boot Disk Option
The remote installation boot disk can be used with computers that do not contain a remote boot-enabled ROM on the network card. The boot disk is designed to simulate the PXE boot process for computers that lack a supported DHCP PXE-based remote boot ROM. The boot disk generator utility is called RBFG.EXE and is located within the \RemoteInstall\admin directory on every Remote Installation Server.

The RBFG.exe utility is also contained within the Administrator Tools package that ships with Windows 2000 Server. The Administrator Tools package can be deployed across your organization using either Systems Management Server 2.0 or using the new Software Management feature, which is part of the Group Policy infrastructure. 


I did not have any sucess using the Microsft Boot floppy though....

I'm using PXE booting to make operating system installations.

There is one problem with it - it won't work when BIOS or NIC doesn't support network booting.

Is it possible to put pxelinux somehow on a CD or on a floppy?
