RE: [Etherboot-users] DiskOnChip Issues

I think you need to setup IDE slot (where DOM is coinstalled) as your first
boot device in BIOS.

Subject: [Etherboot-users] DiskOnChip Issues


Hi all,

I have a working, tested LTSP server. My workstations are have an onboard
RTL8139 network card. In all the succesfull tests I used floppy drive with
floppy loadable ehterboot images to boot the workstations.

Now I wish to use the slot on the motherboard to boot from a DiskOnChip. I
realized that etherboot (even when loaded from a floppy) hangs after the
first
two line message, if and only if the DOC firmware was loaded, i.e. when DOC
is
mapped somewhere into the RAM.

So I tried (quite naively, I'd say...) to write the .lzrom image directly
into
the DOC (instead of the current firmware), but then I get the bios message,
"NO
BOOT DEVICE...".

Has anyone experienced such problems? Does anyone know where I can find
documented experience in booting from DOC?

Thanks,

Yishai Pinchover
