I _had_ seen some problems booting certain flavours of DOS MEMDISKs some
time ago, but that's all been corrected in 3.85. If you want, I'll
test/troubleshoot whatever setup you have... If there's a problem
still, it would be good to get it resolved. The fleet of GX280s over
here are expecting to be able to boot PXELINUX along with things such as
DOS disks for BIOS upgrades, utilities, etc. If you can share your
particular floppy image and remind me of the BIOS revision, I will try
to reproduce.
