Booting Physical CD with PXELINUX
Is there a way to start or trigger the el-torito process from PXELinux?



On my network, veeeeery occasionally I have the need to start the
contents of a boot cd or usb stick from pxelinux, is there a device node
(like grub has) that I can call to create a label like



LABEL StartCD

Menu LABEL Boot from the CD Drive

KERNEL (CD)(0)/BOOT/ISOLINUX



LABEL STARTUSB

Menu LABEL Boot from USB

KERNEL (USB)(FLOPPY/HD/CD)



Or



CHAIN (CD)(0)



Or Something like that; thanks.

There isn't right now.

There is a way it might be doable, but I haven't experimented with it yet.
