I then did mkhybrid with all the buttons and knobs and burned the
resulting ISO to a CD.
Mounting it shows the expected directory structure and when it is
booted it announces that it is using a 2.88 floppy image and then gives
out "ERR M" and locks up.
I haven't suffered that before and found it in the FAQ but I'm none the
wiser as to what could have happened in a CD boot situation.
Anybody who has had this problem and worked it through can feel free to
be very superior and lay a clue on me because I'm sure that it is a
painful thing to debug except for the authors of the boot processes.
uh, pxeboot? you can put the CD contents on your pxeboot server and
there's no need to hook up a CD drive. me thinks that's how you're
supposed to do it for headless machines.
have had the same bad magic errors in the past when using usb cdrom drives.
