[boot scriptor] CD Shell Hotkeys

Hi,

Great tool, I've been working with CD Shell for a couple of days with 
the intention of accomplishing a couple of tasks:

1.  Generating a CD that allows me to select one of a number of boot 
diskette images - obviously exactly what this tool is intended to do.

2.  Making it possible to push down the virtual diskette images to a 
system via PXE after the system has loaded a minimal Linux system used 
for an imaging package I'm working with.

My first issue has to do with the hotkey feature.  My script contains 
the following lines:

loadmodule /cdsh/modules/hotkey.csm
hotkey name F2
hotkey description Boot Powercast Client for FS1
hotkey keycode 0x3B00
hotkey flags 0x00
hotkey action memdisk fs1cast.vfd
hotkey activate

When the script runs, it shows the hotkey fine, but when I press the F2 
key, I get the response "unrecognized command" or "unknown command" 
(don't have it right in front of me but that's what I recall the message 
being)

I'm clearly doing something wrong, but I'm not sure what.

My second issue is maybe a little out of scope for this tool, but maybe 
someone could point me at a tool that can accomplish what I want.

I'm trying to set up a way to handle this boot through PXE, but the 
product I have available does not include a tool to make PXE bootdisks 
(it uses the Preworx stuff) - but it does boot a Linux kernel.

In working with memdisk with Bootscriptor and CD Shell, it seems that I 
might be able to use this tool from inside the Linux kernel that's 
booted as a start to this other imaging process; does anyone here know 
of a way to do this with either memdisk or diskemu?

Is there a way I could combine the functionality of CD Shell or 
Bootscriptor to work with a PXE startup, preferably after the initial 
Linux image is loaded?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions on either issue.

Jim
