Hi,<br><br>Plug the hard drive to a linux computer, partition it, format it fat32, and install syslinux on it "syslinux /dev/sdX", then create a syslinux.cfg text file in the root with "default gpxe.krn".<br>
Extract gpxe.krn from gpxe.iso using 7z "7z x gpxe.iso GPXE.KRN" and copy it to the root of the hard drive. Make sure the partition you create is marked active and the syslinux<br>mbr is written "dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sdX".<br>
<br>Good luck!<br>Quinn<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I am trying to setup my old laptop (DELL Inspiron 3000 M166ST : <a href="http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/SYSTEMS/ptwist/specs.htm" target="_blank">http://support.dell.com/<u></u>support/edocs/SYSTEMS/ptwist/<u></u>specs.htm</a> ) to use etherboot (It will be a thin client).<br>
<br>
The floppy drive and the CD-Rom drive are broken<br>
The USB port does not allow to boot<br>
<br>
I can access to the hard drive disk with a usb_to_ide adapter and mount it on my main computer (Gentoo linux)<br>
<br>
I have a 3 Com PC-CARD 3CXFE574BT ethernet adapter that works well under Linux<br>
<br>
I have tried to write some images generated by ROM-o-matic.net (.dsk .sdsk .iso .liso .usb ) using cat image > hdd but none seems to boot<br>
<br>
How can do ?<br>
