China DOS Union

gpxe adds the imgauto command = imgfetch + boot

Sample:
label imgauto
kernel gpxe.krn
append imgauto http://ip/kernel

Hello,

I am a Taiwanese netizen who visited before. I want to ask another question.
Regarding BIOS flashing, how should I handle it?
Because I want to use DOS PXE boot and then flash the BIOS.
But where should the BIOS file be placed?
After I use net use to open the network drive, enter the network drive,
open the BIOS folder I downloaded, and execute the BIOS flashing program.
This is not working.

So I wonder if I must put the BIOS under dosboot.zip to be able to flash directly?
The question is very stupid, hope the great one can assist.

It's a very good thing. Thanks for sharing.

It is best to place the bios file in dos.img. If you want to obtain the bios file from the network, it is best to use tftp to download the file, or first load the ipx protocol and then copy the bios file from the shared directory to DOS. After starting the network, a lot of memory is occupied, and it is very likely that the flash program cannot be executed.

This network boot is the best one I've ever used. But recently, when installing several ASUS P5kPL series motherboards, the network card is ATHEROS AR8121/AR8113, and the network speed is extremely slow. I don't know the reason. Whether using Ms TCPip or IBM tcpip, the ghost speed, whether multicast or shared cloning, can only reach dozens of M/min. I extracted the network card DOS driver from the motherboard's own driver CD and replaced the driver in the img, and the speed increased to over 100 M. Please help the owner.

Thanks for raising the question. The latest drivers are found here: http://partner.atheros.com/Drivers.aspx. Now I just found out that I forgot to update these network card drivers: AR81Family, Atheros L1, Atheros L2. The 6.4 version of http://www.netbootdisk.com also hasn't updated the driver for this network card.

Hello, I used your tftpboot2009 - 2 - 15, which is very useful. But I don't quite understand the usage of modisys.exe. Your readme says that modisys.exe is used to modify computer name, workgroup, IP, Gateway, DNS, WINS, display hidden hardware, delete C drive letter, delete local connection. I have already achieved automatic modification of computer name and IP (through the well - set netinfo.txt). If I also want to automatically modify (IPX, Gateway, DNS, WINS, display hidden hardware, delete C drive letter), how should I set it?

And regarding the NTFS partition problem, I ran nd.bat but still couldn't recognize NTFS. Later, I downloaded an IFS compressed package from the forum, replaced the files in dos.gz, ran nd.bat, and then ran ntfsyes to be able to recognize NTFS.

I took a look and it's that the nt.bat batch file sometimes has errors. The file extraction failed. I'll fix this problem soon.

First of all, the motherboards of the machines in your computer room should be the same. Make a.BIN program of the already - modified or new BIOS, and incorporate it into the PXE boot image. Write the AUTOEXEC.BAT, and boot each machine in PXE mode, then this can be done.
Of course, the motherboard or the network card needs to support PXE, and a PXE server side and relevant programs for refreshing the BIOS, etc., are required.

Why does my computer get stuck directly no matter which boot method I choose?

Thanks. I've been using this software all the time, it's very good, thanks.

Thanks!

Good stuff, thanks~

Give a good post a thumbs up.
