Rotating

[Matthias Schniedermeyer <ms@citd.de>]

#include <hallo.h>




I have the following "problem". 

I'm using netboot to install computers. First i boot the computer into
linux and copy everything onto that computer. Then i have to reboot into
DOS to run a Hardware-Test-Programm.

In the moment i put in the etherboot-"test"-disk to boot linux and then
replace it with the DOS-Disk. (Linux reboots automaticaly, after the
installation is done.)

But Floppy-Disks tend to "selfdestroying", so i have to replace them every
now and then.

When i could tell the bootp-demon to do "rotating". First boot Linux, then
DOS, Then linux again ... then i could burn the etherboot into a boot-rom
and don't have to use floppy-discs anymore.

To make it "worse". I have two diffrent computer-types. On
Linux, DOS and one
DOS, Linux, DOS (In the First step i have to flash the BIOS.)

And another thing is that i use many ethernet-Cards. (So i can configure
that card "a" installs a german version of the software, but card "b" uses
italian-version. (I use diffrent cards for the two diffent
computer-types!))





Bis denn
