I've seen in the list that there are specialists who use Installing via PXE or similar. The Question I have is How can I boot for example a freedos image with a size larger than 2.880 MB (with memdisk). I use mtools and defined in my mtools.conf drive x: file="/tmp/linux.img" Then I created and formatted the image using mformat -C -t 20 -s 256 -h 4 x: mdir x: says Directory for X:/ 10 397 696 bytes free Then I did a syslinux /tmp/linux.img and prepared it like a linux boot image. This image is well booted via PXE (pxelinux.cfg) LABEL linux KERNEL memdisk APPEND initrd=linux.img But what I want is to have this 10MB image bootable with DOS (freedos or similar), but with sizes bigger than 2.8MB freedos hangs. (or even if doing a sys x: within dosemu, the image tells I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 0 --- how can I tell the MBR to use the ramdisk or ???) How can I create a bootable freedos image with a size bigger than 2.8MB, cause I need this for backup reasons with dos utilites. Thanks for any help in advance! Also thanks for telling me tips where to look further. Thomas Baumann tom@xxxxxxx -- Thomas Baumann // Postfach 110115 // D-64216 Darmstadt // <tom@xxxxxxx>
