*** We have two schools booting off of Hard Disks done two different
ways. Once school we put a lilo boot loader on the hard drive and use:
make bin32/<yournic>.lilo
for the etherboot image.
At our second school we have a few Wind$ze legacy programs that are still
needed so we dual boot the system. We use loadlin to boot a normal kernel
image in DOS using something like:
loadlin kernel root=/dev/nfs ip=dhcp
We add a few MENUITEM lines in Config.sys to get a quick menu asking boot
Win or Linux. The advantage of this setup (for those who need to dual
boot) is that you don't have to format an existing Wind$ze machine, just
make a few config changes. However, I've seen some network cards refuse to
work in this configuration. Apparently Wind$ze loads some device drivers
that I can't get rid of and may put some network cards in an undesirable
state which causes the kernel to fail when it looks for it's ip-address
when making the DHCP request.
