For booting Linux you need something called pxelinux, search the web for it, it's by H Peter Anvin and should be found in the same sites as syslinux and kernel sources. I don't know what needs to be done for booting other OSes, but I'm sure somebody else can tell you. >Plese, send me utils for operation with etherboot, if it help in my case. If you want to use Etherboot instead, there are two choices: 1. You can replace PXE with Etherboot which might be difficult because you would probably have to alter and reflash the BIOS. Please read the contributed notes in the Etherboot doco on how to deal with flash BIOSes and ask further questions in this group so that the experts (not me) can answer. 2. You can load Etherboot with PXE (chaining) and then you only have to work out how to load OSes with Etherboot, using the documentation. Here's the URL that explains how to chain to Etherboot from PXE: http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/5299/2001/7/100/6129709/ It's not in the latest doco yet, my fault. |
