> Is this possible to transform netboot or etherboot images into dos >executable, ".com" would be the easiest I guess ? Long ago, Etherboot had support for making .com images, you may still find some vestiges of it in the Makefile, or maybe not. The reasons I removed it were: + I wanted to reduce the number of binary formats generated, and when I found a way to load .rom images from floppy, I abandoned .com images. + Loading Etherboot from DOS is less reliable because you don't know what DOS has loaded first, e.g. XMS drivers, etc. If you still want to pursue this path, one way might be to write a small wrapper that starts like a .com image, and then jumps to the wrapped .rom image. I don't know how feasible this is, I'm just thinking on the fly. =========================================================================== This Mail was sent to netboot mailing list by: Ken Yap <ken@nlc.net.au> To get help about this list, send a mail with 'help' as the only string in it's body to majordomo@baghira.han.de.
