Subject: [syslinux] Making DOS/Win9x HD Image for memdisk
Hi list!
I'm trying to make a hd image with can boot from memdisk over PXE.
So this is what i did:
- Created a new VM [VMware]
-Installed DOS on a 100MB HD from a floppy
-bootet Linux over PXE [DamnSmallLinux]
-in terminal: dd if=/dev/hda of=dos.img
This image [dos.img] isn't working! Memdisk loads the Image and boots the
HD! The error message is something like this:
I/O Device Error...
Replace disk and press any key
The interessting thing is that this message appears in German and the only
german thing in this VM is the dos installation.
I tried to use raw or bigraw mode, but this doesn't solve the problem.
I tried also to create the image like this: dd if=/dev/hda of=dos.img bs=512
count=[number of sectors]
thx in advance
