[WBEL-users] Like a rescue CD, . but not really - to load various distributions from Network

[Alon]

OK. .. I figured what went wrong.
I had a mix and match of various distros, some garbage and other unknown
files that I must have loaded up with tests.


So,. for clean purposes:

I copied the files from the WBEL30 isolinux into the root  of the USB disk,
and added a few:

boot.cat
boot.msg
chain.c32
general.msg
grub.exe
grub.txt
initrd.img
isolinux.bin
isolinux.cfg
memdisk
menu.c32
menu.lst
options.msg
param.msg
rescue.msg
snake.msg
syslinux.cfg
vmlinuz

In my syslinux.cfg I have the following entry:

DEFAULT menu.c32
PROMPT 0
MENU TITLE Alon is Here.

LABEL White Box 3.0
KERNEL vmlinuz
APPEND vga=normal initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/ram0 rw

UP to this point, at least White Box 3.0 boot section starts correct and
when I select the FTP or HTTP I'm finally
being prompted for the URL/IP info.

Now,. my understanding as of now is that    I can change:

vmlinuz  to   wb3vmlnzl
AND
initrd.img   to   wb3initr.img


What about the boot.cat and boot.msg and all the rest of those files?
I copied those from the White Box 3.0   isolinux directory.

Won't those get in conflict with CentOS 4.2 files?
I would rather have complete set of files residing it its directory,. but I
don't know how to reference the directory

APPEND vga=normal initrd=wb3initr.img root=/dev/ram0 rw       IS THERE A WAY
TO ADD A DIRECTORY PATH?

Such that all the WBEL30 will reside in a wbel30/      and  WBEL40 will
reside in wbel40/ ??
