DOS ain't dead - Diskless DOS via PXE (netboot)

Diskless DOS via PXE (netboot) - need help (Users)

posted by totalizator, 22.05.2014, 23:36

Hi there,

Having a working PXE server with a couple of diskless Linux systems I decided to deploy a diskless DOS for easier tinkering among all the retro machines I have. The problem is that I don't know how to make it behave like an ordinary installation - with rw partition.

Most of the tutorials over the Internet suggest using MEMDISK that will allow you boot a disk image, mainly for BIOS upgrades.

Can you point me in the direction how to build such a setup?
