China DOS Union

I've been using GRUB4DOS for half a year. I know GRUB4DOS has network functions! 1

But I can never find relevant usage methods??? I haven't seen anyone post such posts either,

The official help files don't have much introduction, and I don't know where to start. Does anyone know?

Please introduce it!

Are you knowledgeable about PXE or something else?

I don't know if my expression is very vague?? What I mean is that GRUB4DOS can use the network. Of course, network booting can be achieved, which is PXE booting. How to achieve it??

GRUB4DOS is similar to this

But I need something about GRUB4DOS, I'll look for it slowly

There is a basic grub4dos tutorial above, which includes detailed descriptions of network booting, but it is not about diskless networks.

Which thing I often look at, and I didn't see the network boot part. If you see it, please post it up.

The problem has been solved. The specific method is

Use GRLDR as the PXE boot file

The menu file is placed in the root directory of the drive where this service is located. The directory is meu.lst/default

Everyone should note that menu.lst is a directory, not a file

Syntax:

title Boot network PE
root (pd) Use network
pxe keep I don't quite understand either
chainloader --force /startrom.0 Use PXE PE boot file
boot

There are two more points to note. (Assuming TFT32 is placed in the pxe directory of drive D)

1: Pay attention to the location of the file. No matter which directory your PXE service is in,

GRLDR always starts from the root directory. For example: map --mem (pd)/pxe/img/dos.img (fd0)

SYSLINUX starts from the TFT32 directory (this gave me a headache for several hours)

2: It is best not to use it under the USB flash drive (be sure to copy it to the local hard drive for use)

Because the find command cannot be used under some USB flash drives, and the transmission speed of the USB flash drive is slower than that of the hard drive (causing a bottleneck)

Here are some tips: (not very sure)

The command chainloader --force /startrom.0 may not need the preceding /, I also forgot

SYSLINUX is not needed (everyone should also pay attention)

There is also something not verified:

It is said that GRUB4DOS after 12-05 will have problems with PXE, you can use the version before 12-05

I verified that versions like 12-25 and some others cannot find the file under some motherboards. I didn't verify the version before 12-05

I've been looking for this kind of thing recently too. There are no detailed setup instructions. After reading the moderator's tips, I'll give it another try. Thanks
