Hello all, I am new comer to the list. Just working on bscript boot CD
and have few problems
1) from the web, I know that Windows ME floppy can't be loaded by
memdisk, but can be loaded by diskemu and isolinux,
Problem: Windows ME boot disk hangs when booted using memdisk.
Cause: I suspect Windows ME is incompatible with memdisk.
Expected fix date: Not fixable, but a workaround may be made at some
point.
Workaround: You can try the command "isolinux floppy.img" (where
floppy.img is the
name of your disk image). This tells isolinux to use your BIOS's
built-in emulator to
boot the disk, but may not work on all BIOSes. Also, you can use Diskemu
to boot
Windows ME boot floppy images without this problem.
I can do it with diskemu, but when I test it with isolinux
i.e. onkey 6 isolinux winme.img
I got boot> prompt.
I follow the directory structure of bscript web
/ (root)
|
+ BSCRIPT
| |
| - LOADER.BIN
| |
| - BSCRIPT.BIN
| |
| - BSCRIPT.INI (startup script, optional)
| |
| - BSCRIPT.BMP (splash image, optional)
| |
| - BSCRIPT.BSI (splash image, optional)
| |
| + MODULES
| |
| + ISOLINUX
| | |
| | - MEMDISK (if you want to use the memdisk command)
| | |
| | - *.* (Linux kernels, or other isolinux-related files)
| |
| - *.BSM (all module files)
| |
| - PART.EXE (if you want to use Ranish Partition Manager)
|
+ *.* (the rest of the files you want on the disk)
and I place winme.img under bscript folder. I do anything wrong ????
2) from the web, I find there is a "Linux booting demonstration" disc,
I was helping a user get Boot Scriptor to boot a Linux kernel and
created a test disc. If you'd like to see how an example of how to get
Boot Scriptor to boot a Linux kernel by passing a command to Isolinux,
then feel free to download the iso and play around with it. It won't be
there forever though, since it's rather large (~5Mb) and is counting
against my disk space.
but not availiable anymore, can anyone point me where to download it ?
3) apart from Linux, DOS and Windows series, anyone try put other OS
boot disk in one? eg SUN Solaris on PC, Mac, BeOS etc etc.
Thanks a lot.
