I have problem like this, but this line "MEMDISK 1.66 2002-01-01 Copyright 2001-2002 H. Peter Anvin" i've never seen :))? because it stops after "boot" command.

I am using the CVS version for loading several different bootfloppies via memdisk. Works like a charm!

It is a known bug in 0.92 and it should be fixed in the CVS
version. Can you try the CVS version?

Thanks,

nbgrub built with --enable-diskless --enable-eepro100

memdisk is part of syslinux, testing version 1.66.

Booted with etherboot 5.0.6 floppy using eepro100

dhcp entry:

host node2 {
     hardware ethernet 00:06:29:1F:2A:BF;
     fixed-address 199.88.179.202;
     filename "/tftpboot/grub/nbgrub.eepro100";
     option option-150 "/tftpboot/grub/node2.grub";
     option dhcp-server-identifier 199.88.179.20;
     next-server 199.88.179.20;
}

Contents of /tftpboot/grub/node2.grub

hiddenmenu
default 0
timeout 5
title dos
root (nd)
kernel /tftpboot/memdisk
module /tftpboot/dos.dd

output:
