Hi Gavin, what worked for me (on a normal old PC) was this: I plugged in the cfcard via adapter as hda, booted a live Linux from cd and used fdisk to give the cf a ext2 file system. Than I made a /boot/grub dir on /dev/hda1 and 'just' copied menue.lst, stage1 and stage2 there. Than I installed grub in the mbr (with the grub shell) of /dev/hda1. I fetched the boot-rom from rom-o-matic (the grub/lilo image *.zlilo) and placed it in /boot.
Edit menu.lst to this: timeout 0 title LTSP root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/your_romimage.zlilo OK thats not a pxe boot, but it works (at least for me) Gavin McCullagh wrote: > Hi, > > I recently have been given a couple of handy little i386 servers which take > a hard disk and a CF disk. > > The previous owner had what appears to be a freebsd etherboot image on the > CF disk (which appears as IDE) which comes up and makes a dhcp request but > doesn't manage to boot (it seems to send a packet on udp port zero). > > As this doesn't completely work and I'd rather use PXE, I've been trying to > use a new image from rom-o-matic.
