LanDesk PXE syslinux pxelinux interation

$

Hello,


At my company we used Windows Deployment Services (WDS) together with

pxelinux ( http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/WDSLINUX ).

 

This made it possible to boot/install window and several linux flavours like this:

DHCP with PXE, then via tftp pxelinux.0 was loaded with pxelinux.cfg/default containing a menu to select boot/install of windows/linux etc.

 

Now my company switched to LanDesk and I need to integrate our old pxelinux menu.

LandDesk brings it's own dhcp/tftp server which serves an "F8 Menu".

 

I see two options:

 

1) extend the current LanDesk "F8 Menu" to have an option to load our old pxelinux.0 and pxelinux.cfg/default

    into the  ROM of the network card.

 

    How could I add an extra option to the "F8 Menu" ?

 

2) or replace the inital boot rom:

    As far as I know the first file that gets loaded via tftp during pxe boot is X86PC\UNDI\BStrap\BStrap.0 so I guess tis is what responsible for the "F8 menu"

 

    Is it possible to tell LanDesk to use e.g. X86PC\UNDI\pxelinux\pxelinux.0 instead of X86PC\UNDI\BStrap\BStrap.0 ?

    How and where could I change this setting ?

 

   I already tried to overwrite X86PC\UNDI\BStrap\BStrap.0 with pxelinux.0 .

   But although I restarted "LanDesk PXE" service nothing happened, I still got the "F8 menu"

 

   In context  to this I am wondering what the function of C:\Program Files (x86)\LANDesk\PXE\System\BStrapOpts.Dll  is about.

 

 

Any help is much appreciated
