I am skeptical that this is the problem, for two reasons.
First, "case sensitive = no" is the default. You would have to
explicitly set it to
That makes sense. Any idea as to why it was unable to run:

that would be incorrect... though, these options could be programmed
however the bios folks want em... some boards take a single key input
for it, some are required to have the boot sequence set, while other
boards have none or all options.

This is very similar to a problem reported
I think I figured out part of the problem. I am running a Samba Server.
The problem appears to be that when the script was looking for
txtsetup.sif, it is case sensitive. I did have a TXTSETUP.SIF. When I
moved TXTSETUP.SIF to txtsetup.sif I was able to get a little further
until I came across a

Steven,
I am happily using PXELINUX, there is an option to drop straight out of the
menu if either caps lock or shift lock are not engaged, coupled with that I
have a local disk boot set as the default.
This does mean that you have to type a 'magic word' to launch the install,
but that has the up

the "halt" loop is using a wrong label (the colon must preceed "halt").
