Hi all !

Now what I really want to do:
I have some PCs witn NT installed. These PCs should also run Linux.
Everything is mounted from a server.
To boot the kernel I use bootp+tftp which works if I boot from a floppy.
Now how do I get it towork from the NT boot menu. I added an entry
in boot.ini with "C:\bootsect.lnx=Linux". The bootsect.lnx file is the
image.flo produced by makerom. It is displayed in the menu and I can select
it. But then everything is quiet.
Any hints ?

AFAIK, you can't really do that.  You could use lilo to choose NT
or
a locally loaded kernel that does NFS mounts for its root filesystems,
or use
netboot's menuing to accomplish the same...
