Hello all, I plan to make an (emergency) multi OS bootable CD which
contain:
- Win98 boot floppy (create from Win 98 control panel, add remove
program)
- WinME boot floppy (create from Win 98 control panel, add remove
program)
- Linux boot disk
- Win NT boot disk
- Win 2000 recovery console
- Win XP recovery console
- Winternal Administrative Pak (ERD Commander etc)
I am new to Linux and feel painful in doing these, someone point me
to
Bart\'s web (
http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/)
and I guess Multiple boot images (isolinux/memdisk) could
solve my problem, I start off with the following
0) Boot from first harddisk (0x80)
1) Boot Dos with CD-Rom support
2) Boot Dos with Network support
3) Boot Linux (tomsrtbt)
4) Boot Windows 98 floppy
5) Boot Windows ME floppy
6) Boot FD Linux
7) Boot Pocket Linux
Boot RedHat Linux 8
9) Boot RedHat Linux 8 text
e) Boot RedHat Linux 8 expert
k) Boot RedHat Linux 8 ks
n) Boot RedHat Linux 8 nofb
l) Boot RedHat Linux 8 lowres
c) Boot RedHat Linux 8 CrashRecovery
a) Boot from first floppy drive (0x00)
q) Skip CD-Rom boot (try next boot device)
1,2,3 are from Bart\'s web, I create the img file (win98.img and
winme.img) with dd.exe
I got FD Linux at
http://www.fdlinux.com/download.html and
Pocket Linux
at
http://www.pocket-lnx.org/download.htmloption 8,9,e,k,n,l are from
http://redhat.pacific.net.au/redhat/linux/.../i386/isolinux/and c) is from
http://crashrecovery.org/(
ftp://ftp.crashrecovery.org/pub/linux/CrashRecoveryKit/iso/2.4.19/)
my isolinux.cfg look like this
default 0
display bootmsg.txt
prompt 1
F1 boot.msg
F2 options.msg
F3 general.msg
F4 param.msg
F5 rescue.msg
F7 snake.msg

I have no problem from Option 0 - 4, but can\'t load the remain,
5) hang up after winme.img load, 6) and 7) ask for floppy, 8 - l
report
vmlinuz corrupt, c) hang after image load.
* for c), I try:
label c
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd= crash2419.img
and also not work
should I use Bootable Dos CD-Rom (multiple boot images) instead of
Multiple boot images (isolinux/memdisk) for the above ?
any problem in my setting from option 5 to c ? (seems that 5 to 7
require floppy emulation to work)
after solving the above, i would like to add Win 2000/XP recovery
console into the menu (still searching for the recovery console
image
file) and ERD Commander. Anyone know how to include the ERD
Commander
in isolinux.cfg ?
label erd
kernel w2ksect.bin
append initrd=erd.img
??
Also, anyone try put the NTFSDOS Pro onto a bootable CD ? I use it
with
Win XP Pro and the total file size is over 5MB!!! (it said will use
2
floppies......)
For he above (Win Recivery Console and ERD stuff) should I use
Multiple boot images (isolinux/memdisk) and add the option
kernel w2ksect.bin ?
Also, can multiple disk image cascade ? eg
some floppy distributed Linux are in 3 floppies (disk1.img,
disk2.img,
disk3.img) can the config:
label m
kernel memdisk
append initrd= disk1.img, disk2.img, disk3.img
??
Thanks a lot.

[email protected]PS I am using Chinese Win 98 to build the CD, mkisofs.exe not work
with
Chinese file name, and I find a NLS version of it
http://www.arekore.org/cdrecord/mkisofs-NLS-CJK.htmlwith some modification in the build.mak
boot:=-b isolinux/isolinux.bin
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table
-hide isolinux.bin -hide-joliet isolinux.bin
-hide boot.catalog -hide-joliet boot.catalog
-hide trans.tbl -hide-joliet trans.tbl
mkisofsargs:=-J -N -U -T -icode=big5
hope this help
