    [SOLVED] Localboot 0 doesn't work over pxe

    need some help figuring this out.

    I'm building a pxeboot server for tools and installation of Operating Systems.

    But I'm having trouble with the default option of booting from local disk drive.

    Code:
    LABEL Local_Drive
     MENU LABEL ^5. Boot Local Drive
     #  localboot 0
     KERNEL chain.c32
     APPEND hd0 0
    When I select this on the client machine, it says "booting..." but nothing happens.

    I'm not sure whats wrong or if syslinux is broken or something.

    I've also tried

    Localboot 0x80
    and
    Localboot 0

    Any ideas? am I missing something?

    OK so I'm an idiot, I wipe the drive few weeks ago and forgot so this whole time I was trying to boot nothing.

    LOL... thanks for posting back with the solution. Don't feel too badly over it, though, because I think we've all had those moments.
