Hello,
Thank you for the idea. I'm quite newbie in diskless terminals...
I tried what you mentioned, but it did not work. The PXE loader loads the pxelinux.0 file, and after that the PC freezes at the point where the loader tries to read the config file. Each file is in the right directory.
The DHCP server is MSW2k Server (BOOTP is enabled), the TFTP server is Winagents TFTP server.
Üdvözlettel:

to boot a DOS floppy image with a PXE-capable card (not etherboot /
netboot):
- create an image of the floppy:
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=floppy.img
- copy the image to your tftp-server directory (e.g. /tftpboot)
- copy pxelinux.0 and memdisk of the syslinux package (see
http://syslinux.zytor.com ) to your tftp-server directory
- create a sub-dir 'pxelinux.cfg'
- create the file 'pxelinux.cfg/default':
DEFAULT dos
TIMEOUT 0
LABEL dos
KERNEL memdisk
append initrd=floppy.img
- the DHCP server configuration should contain a line like this one:
filename "/tftpboot/pxelinux.0";
Cheers
Alex
