[syslinux] dos universal packet driver

[Miller, Shao]

Anthony:

If I understand you correctly, you haven't yet gotten as far as actually booting the disk image with memdisk?  If so, I suspect that you need some help in correctly creating your floppy (or HDD) image.  If you can't even boot DOS from the image, it's not yet time to fight the battle of making sure the DOS UNDI driver is working.

Here are a few resources you might find useful:
http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/DOS_floppy_images
http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/Large_floppy_images

For some lively support, you could try asking around in the FreeNode IRC #syslinux channel, though it would be good if a real SYSLINUX/MEMDISK bug is identified, to document it in this mailing list.

Good luck!

- Shao Miller

I can't help with that driver in particular but I do a lot of Ghosting via PXE using a 2.88 MB floppy boot disk image (I use http://chitchat.at.infoseek.co.jp/vmware/vfd.html on windows to make it). I use the following menu entry in my config file:

label ghost
	MENU LABEL ^Ghost (Universal)
	MENU DEFAULT
	KERNEL kernels/memdisk
	APPEND keeppxe initrd=kernels/clone/ghost.img floppy
	IPAPPEND 2

Unfortunately my boot disk is using the UNDIS3C.DOS driver, not undipd.com, so I can't point you in the right direction past that point. At least that should give you a starting point to work from.
