[NTLUG:Discuss] booting a large PXES generated image/initrd

[jeremyb@univista.com]

hey folks,

I've created a 4317283 byte boot image/initrd using PXES.
I also have an old Dell P90c that can't boot from CD or a network device.
The image/initrd boots a very slim 2.4 kernel and connects to an MS win2K
terminal server
using rdp here in the lab thus turning this old P90 into a spiffy thinclient
....If 
I can get it to boot the 4.3 MB image/initrd that is.  

The P90 has a fresh install of RH7.1 on it's 400 MB harddrive.
The PXES image/initrd has been copied to /boot from my PXES generation
machine.

Lilo doesn't want to use the image because it's too big. So, I made a boot
disk and started
experimenting with syslinux.cfg on the floppy.  Well, I don't know how to
get the syslinux.cfg on the floppy to point to the image/initrd on the
/dev/hda5 in /boot.  Actually,  
I'm not sure if that's possible.

I would prefer not to use the floppy to boot this machine. Instead, I prefer
to use the old 400
MB HDD to boot the image if that's possible.

Anyone know what course of action I might take to boot this P90 using this
4.3MB image
using the HDD?
