Ok I have a few new boxes with bad bios's. They wont boot an ISOLinux cd :-( So I was trying to create an El-Torito cd to boot from. I run into a problem with the initrd image. It is too big to fit in the floppy boot image. So I want to put syslinux and the kernel on the floppy image, which I have working. Then put the initrd on the cdrom. I have used a setup similar to this but its been awhile. Icant get the kernel to see the initrd. in syslinux.cfg I have initrd=cdrom:initrd. Anyone have any hints on how to work around this? I am thinking I should have used flash disks instead. But I am stuck with 5 of these units and would like to use the cdroms, next time I will go flash.
