Hello Eddy, Sunday, December 22, 2002, 4:03:46 PM, you wrote: E> There are several options about output format in the Config file, including ROM,LILO,etc. E> I wonder if it is possible to compile it into an executable fle so I can run: E> ./etherboot E> to boot a remote linux/windows... E> If that can be realized,it would be great! Of course,we need to switch into real mode first... Dunno if it's to great... If you want to testdrive network-booting, probably having a separate test-machine would help you better. Or you could pay $$$ for vmware... Perhaps even a lilo bootloader entry "Etherboot" would help you, which works for me like a charm. For lilo-loading etherboot, get a .lzlilo or .lilo image from rom-o-matic, enter it into /etc/lilo.conf (after RTFM, of course) and "lilo". Next start you should be presented a choice to load etherboot. E> In my opinion,it should be not too difficult... E> Anyone has a clue? I'm not to sure it's a nice idea to switch to real mode. First, you should unload all filesystems and daemons and stuff, like for a reboot. What does it matter to run through the bios once more? That's mostly a question of seconds, with no extra difficulties at all. Don't forget that's my 0,02 Euro not more. Do what you please, it's interesting anyway :-) Best regards, Anselm mailto:an...@ho... |
