I'm alittle late coming to this particular discussion, but I found when using syslinux.com it could never get it to boot, finally I ran the syslinux that came w/ redhat (desktop linux for me) and all worked great.I didn't really need to change much else from the normal settings...

Thanks for all the replies. One of the syslinuxes worked (the one on Dachstein utils at http://www.dublerfamily.com/leaf/) I now have an almost working solution. Syslinux is on (I think) I copied all the lrps etc. My PC won't boot from this disk (whatever I set as the boot order in the BIOS) It just says [From the BIOS] Disk 0, Secure DiskOnModule Floppy 0 Then nothing - no beeps, no output, just hangs. I edited the syslinux.cfg on my floppy, to get all packages and root from /dev/hda1 and that works fine, so I almost have the solution - i.e. I have a one floppy boot instead of two, and half of the boot process is very fast, but I'd like the whole boot to go from /dev/hda1. I'm not sure where to go next. Does anyone know how I can check /dev/hda1 to make sure syslinux is on it properly (there was used space, and ldlinux.sys straight after the syslinux install) The partition is marked bootable and active. Could I convert /dev/hda1 into a boot floppy in some way to test whether it is actually bootable? Any ideas about whether this might be a DOM specific issue? (BTW, it's an SDOM, but currently configured without security) Many thanks Dave _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
