You are right, and yes it's lame - we do it for legacy equipment (nice word for past it) and we have bought a PXE enabled nic that we carry around to boot from when we have the urge to boot without a floppy
Bootable cd's are supposed to be able to cope with multiple floppy images and give you a menu - but that is bios dependant - with old machines you may not have much more luck that way either -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tomasz Chmielewski Sent: 21 September 2005 12:26 To: Unattended List Subject: [Unattended] RE: PXE boot floppy / CD? > > Is there any floppy / CD, which would allow PXE booting for older > > machines, which don't support PXE booting (via BIOS), or have the > > network cards which don't support PXE booting? > > > > I have a MS RIS floppy, but unfortunately, it doesn't support many > > network cards. > > You may find some help at http://www.etherboot.org/ and > http://www.rom-o-matic.net/5.4.1/ Yeah but it seems that I can only use one network card image per floppy.
