Strange; according to /usr/share/doc/syslinux-3.70/memdisk.txt
memdisk can handle 2.88M floppies. What is the exact size of
the floppy image file?

I can confirm that the memdisk from the centos-5 pkg syslinux-3.11-4 does 
indeed boot 2880K floppy images.

Yes, from what I have read it should even boot floppies of 8-9 meg.
I found a script used to extend the size but nothing I do is working
for some reason. I really only need about 2.88meg.

How did you go about building your image, and what is your default file syntax?

Thanks!

[CentOS] PXE Booting floppy image

2008-07-31 Thread Joseph L. Casale
Anyone know the correct syntax for specifying a floppy image in the 
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default file?

I am trying to use:

label Dos Bootdisk
MENU LABEL Dos bootdisk
FDIMAGE discimage.img

But when I select it the menu, I get a message saying Automatic boot in 30 
seconds and nothing happens.

I would use:

label Dos Bootdisk 2
MENU LABEL Dos bootdisk 2
kernel memdisk
append initrd=discimage.img

but this is a 2.88meg floppy and memdisk wont boot it?

Thanks!
