Hey,
  Firstly i like to say good work on your project, I love the ability to use 
PXE to ghost all my machines without the use of floppy disks.

Now i managed to setup PXE correctly using a copy of Barts Boot Disk's with 
ModBOOT and modified it to meet our company needs. This works perfect and i 
can ghost not a problem using the standard loader prompt

boot:

and inserting text depending on which image i wish to load from TFTP.

Now i moved to my next step of trying to get Simple Menu's working. My 
problem occurs after selecting a menu option. The image loads and gives me 
this output:

command line: initrd=images/c201.img BOOT_IMAGE=memdisk
Disk is floppy, 1440 K, C/H/S = 80/2/18
Total size needed = 1491 bytes, allocating 2K

Any idea's why this is not booting my proper image? Here is my configuration 
file:

PROMPT 0
DEFAULT menu.c32
TIMEOUT 100
ONTIMEOUT .localboot -1

MENU TITLE ITNET 2006 Boot Menu

LABEL local
    MENU LABEL ^Local Boot
    MENU DEFAULT
    LOCALBOOT 1

LABEL ghost
    MENU LABEL ^Ghost
    KERNEL memdisk
    APPEND initrd=images/c201.img

label test
    MENU LABEL ^C201
    KERNEL memdisk
    APPEND initrd=images/c201.img keeppxe

label test2
    MENU LABEL ^C201
    KERNEL memdisk
    APPEND initrd=images/c201.img floppy



Any Idea's would be great i would love to get this done before Monday as 
students will be ariving.

Thanx,
- Zen
