I have succesfully setup a Compact Flash card bootup using a card formatted and sys'd in win9x and a DOS etherboot image. I copied the etherboot image to the CF card, deleted the win9x command.com and renamed the etherboot image to command.com (initially tried a DOS 6.22 format but client always freezes at VERIFYING DMI POOL DATA)
 
Everything works perfectly, client boots into X, use programs etc...  but with 1 small annoying problem. The client booting off the CF card always shows the following message just after the pc POST info:-
 
Type the name of the Command Interpretor (e.g., c:\command.com)
C>
 
I type in command.com and the boot process continues.
 
Any idea's appreciated, maybe I should format the CF card in linux and setup a linux boot image. I am a linux newbie but if someone can give me good enough instructions I will have a go at anything once.
 
Regards,
Brendan H.
