This only has to be done since the stuff exceeds the size of a 1.44MB floppy. We discovered "memdisk" (part of H.Peter Anvin's toolbox) which is able to boot a harddisk image, or a 2.88MB floppy image, over PXE. This might kill two birds with one stone: what if there's no FD drive anymore, and juggling disks is no longer necessary.

What I tried: Please have a look (using the local "open" interface) at the output of user summary 1 (supposed 1 is the LAN channel) user list 1 channel authcap 1 1 channel getciphers ipmi 1 channel getciphers sol 1 it might - for testing purposes - be helpful to add another user (locally again): user set name 7 RUTH user set password 7 WHATEVERYOUCANREMEMBER user enable 7 channel setaccess 1 7 privilege=4 (that's what I did here, and it somehow worked IIRC although I'm still stuck with ADMIN) Can you try to sniff the traffic?
