It's just like lilo or grub booting a the loader from a > different disk (floppy, for example). My plan is to execute a non-linux module for authentication. Steps involved are: * Start the system * Network PXE starts, gets the DHCP assigned address * PXE tries to connect to the nearby tftp server, grabs the NON-Linux authentication module * executes the module, I get the results of authetication * Now, HOW can I access the bootloader on the Harddisk? How can we do that?
