At first i want to say "Thanks" for this great utility.
I helps me a lot. Only now i'm stuck on 1 piece.
I think this one is related to those BIOS that has problems. I have at =
work only IBM machines (and as anyone know IBM isn't 100% IBM Compatible =
:-)

Oh, before i go further, i'm using ISOLINUX v1.72 with Boot Scripter =
1.0 b9 and i'm not sure if i'm on the right address. I created a CD with =
2x memdisk 1.44, 1x memdisk 2.88 and the W2000 Pro loader (the i386 in =
root of CD). I created a menu 1 - 4 and as default (after 10 sec) it has =
to boot to the first HD. All disks working great, even the automated =
installation of W2000. After a reboot of the system i let it wait for =
the time out. And then it went wrong. If the CD tries to boot from local =
HD 0x80 i got the message "can't read device" and the CD restarts to the =
menu. Is this the 'Known' BIOS problem and if so can i overcome it.

kind regards,
Eddy Sweelssen

P.S. it took me some hours to read all the docs on the net, but =
'Whoooaa' it was wurth it. Now i know 20% more about my machine and what =
it is doing (wrong!) .

Hi,

>address.

This isn't a problem with Isolinux, so it's not the right place for
these questions. They should be emailed to me, my address is on the Boot
Scriptor website.

>If the CD tries to boot from local HD 0x80 i got the message "can't
read device" and the CD restarts to the menu. Is

Try the command "localboot 0x80" in Isolinux. If that is successful,
then the problem is in Boot Scriptor.
