Hi!

I'm trying to boot this kind of file:

$ file ibm_fw_bios_m9e144a_anyos_i386.img
ibm_[...]_i386.img: DOS floppy 1440k, x86 hard disk boot sector

(This is a BIOS update boot image for the IBM X Series servers).

I'm booting with PXE on the IBM machine, with this pxelinux.cfg:

$ cat pxelinux.cfg/default
[...]
    LABEL update_bios_img
      MENU LABEL ^BIOS Update (img)
      FDIMAGE ibm_fw_bios_m9e144a_anyos_i386.img
[...]

PXE boots, I select this image, and I get the following error upon botting 
this .img file:

boot: update_bios_img
Invalid image type for this media type!
boot: 

Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!


Daniel
