It seems that if the size of .com file is larger than 32K,
which happens if the size of .rom file is just 32K,
pxelinux.bin ( included in syslinux ) cannot execute it.
Results for eepro100.com
-DMOTD -DIMAGE_MENU -DELF_IMAGE / size of .rom / pxelinux.bin / FreeDOS
yes yes yes 32K Not work Work
yes yes no 16K Work Work
no no yes 16K Work Work
no no no 16K Work Work
In `Not work' case, it shows
ROM segment 0x8000 length 0x8000
and no more message is shown.
By the way, I made a page about
`Boot Linux, FreeBSD, FreeDOS from PXE (Preboot Execution Environment)'.
