Anyone know the correct syntax for specifying a floppy image in the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default file?
I am trying to use:
label Dos Bootdisk MENU LABEL Dos bootdisk FDIMAGE discimage.img
But when I select it the menu, I get a message saying "Automatic boot in 30 seconds" and nothing happens.
I would use:
label Dos Bootdisk 2 MENU LABEL Dos bootdisk 2 kernel memdisk append initrd=discimage.img
but this is a 2.88meg floppy and memdisk wont boot it?
Thanks! jlc

Strange; according to /usr/share/doc/syslinux-3.70/memdisk.txt memdisk can handle 2.88M floppies. What is the exact size of the floppy image file?

I can confirm that the memdisk from the centos-5 pkg syslinux-3.11-4 does indeed boot 2880K floppy images.

Yes, from what I have read it should even boot floppies of 8-9 meg. I found a script used to extend the size but nothing I do is working for some reason. I really only need about 2.88meg.
How did you go about building your image, and what is your default file syntax?
