Hi Peter,

What are you using for the PXE boot on the server side?
If it's tftpboot with the PXE image from unattended you edit the
pxelinux.cfg/default file.
(dd a floppy image to a file and use that as an initrd with the memdisk
kernel.)
The manual for PXELinux (http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php) might be very
helpful.

Greetings,

Niels

Onderwerp: [Unattended] Help neded with additional network boot images


First off, thanks to the Unattended developers! Way cool!

I've gotten Unattended set up to allow my machines to PXE netboot.
Currently I'm using this to start up a image I made of a DOS boot
floppy. Waaay faster than then floppy. This is working great.

What I'd like to do now is add a few more bootable images to the
library. The immediate ones that come to mind are:

- MemtestX86+
- System Rescue CD (http://www.sysresccd.org/)

I've tried the same technique on those ISOs as I used on the floppy disk
(open the image in WinImage and save as IMZ), but it appears that
doesn't work on ISOs. I did some searches in the mailing list archive,
but didn't turn anything applicable up.

So: Is is possible to boot from anything other than a floppy image? If
so, can some kind soul point me to docs on how to make it happen?

Thanks!

-Pete
