[syslinux] Making DOS/Win9x HD Image for memdisk

[oss at need2eat.com]

Revised my previous post.

Hi Lukas,

I used QEMU (http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/download.html) to
create a blank disk image
(http://kidsquid.com/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/QuickStartGuide)
and installed DOS 6.22 then copied the image file to the pxelinux folder
and DOS boots up perfectly.  Didn't try Win 9x.

Additional cool stuff:

(to mount the loop device)
# losetup /dev/loop0 /path_to/diskimage -o 32256 
# mount -t vfat /dev/loop0 /mountpoint

(to umount loop device)
# losetup -d /dev/loop0

(For Reference:

Good luck!
