sealnose Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 (edited) Apologies for the post immediately below this one. It's the solution to a different problem, and it works.But here is the solution to the problem originally posed:LABEL boot-harddriveMENU LABEL Boot Hard DriveKERNEL pxelinux.0APPEND - DHCP has already set the tftpboot root directory where pxelinux.0 resides in the dhcp-root-path statement. Assuming the bios defaults to the network, the network hands it pxelinux.0 which is a similar bootloader to what it would have gotten if it had gone to the hard drive in the first place. This is handy if you want to install from the network and not have the installer's reboots result in starting the install process over again.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hi All,I've gotten some good information by reading material here, but it seems like the posts/answers ratio is not high.Anybody have any thoughts about this? In some respects it's good because we don't have a lot of people providing answers who don't know what they're talking about. On the other hand, some things like this one are not rocket science. Was the list telling me to RTFInternet?The solution was:LABEL VistaMENU LABEL VistaKERNEL http://path-to-installer-image/startrom.0APPEND -You need to use gPXE.Go to www.etherboot.org for the rest of the procedure.Hi Folks,I have a working Vista installation which boots into the "D" partition, partition 2 of hd0, or sd0. If I just power up the machine with the network unplugged, Vista comes up fine. I also have a PXE boot setup that boots to a menu.c32 menu on which one of the choices is the already-installed Vista on "D". I would like to be able to use that menu to boot the installed Vista.The menu.cfg entry is:LABEL VistaMENU LABEL VistaCOM32 chain.c32APPEND boot ntldr=/bootmgrI've also tried KERNEL chain.c32 in place of COM32.When it boots it says chain.c32. OKCannot read Master Boot RecordAny suggestions?ThanksJohn Edited October 13, 2009 by sealnose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
