W/ 3coms tftp I'm not able to load more than 1x PC at a time w/ WinPE (if I try they'll fail). Also, if you're not using WDS or xinetd's tftp I recomment dumping the 3com tftp in favor of tftpd32. I'll post a more in-depth menu as a response. Also, note that you can now add "real" sub menus and passwords if you want to. You'll need to edit this to match your file names and locations. Save as \TFTPBOOT\pxelinux.cfg\default (no file extension) Copy and paste the following into notepad:Īppend keeppxe initrd=imz/Client_undi.imzĪPPEND keeppxe initrd=imz/Client_ndis.IMZ see This way you literally load anything & everything and have much easier menu to edit.Ĭreate a folder called pxelinux.cfg. If you use WDS I highly recommend loading pxelinux first and adding WDS as a menu option. If you send that file via DHCP, you'll need to make the appropriate changes on your server to send pxelinux.0.
If you're using the 3com pxe server edit the BOOTPTAB to send pxelinux.0 in place of mba.pxe.
(I'm using 3.81) copy the following files to the root of your tftp server (probably c:\TFTPBOOT\ if you're using the 3com setup) The downside is that the 3com image editor will not work w/ the image anymore, but you can use winimage which works almost as well. Somehow this removes some of the proprietary header info (maybe). IMZ (IMA is the same, but not compressed - use IMZ) file. Īll you need to do to make the 3com images compatible is simply open them w/ winimage and save as.

Download winimage free trial is all you need, but it's such a great app I bought it. Here's a really simple fix to directly load your. Pxelinux can chain load the 3com menu (mba.pxe) but the 3com menu will then fail to load a. THE GOAL: A single PXE menu that can boot 3com images, DOS, Linux, WinPE, WDS, and other misc utils. The problem w/ the 3com bootstrap is that it only loads DOS, so it's very limiting. Floppy images (even 2.8) are too small to be useful w/ the current Symantec utilities. What there's not a good replacement for are the 16MB images. The 3com setup is pretty good, but it's starting to show it's age and there are better alternatives for both the pxe/tftp services. Here's the dilemma as I see it for Ghost users who use PXE. First, let me think Nigel & H Peter Anvin for pointing me in the right direction for this solution.
