Hello everyone
Is there a way to access the share folder in the VM console using DOS. I am using Sun virtual box. I am using PXE to boot from within the VM. There is no guess OS. Upon booting via PXE, I get to a DOS cmd screen. Is there a way from the DOS screen to access the share folder in the VM console?

No. Accessing the shared folder requires GA loaded and GA isn't supported under DOS. If you need to read limited config data into your DOS process, then have you thought of creating a FAT16 IMG file and mounting this as a floppy in your VM?

Thanks, Terry didn't think about doing a floppy.
Not sure If I am pushing my luck with u, but could u help me with a project at work. I have created images (on a physical machine) and have uploaded them to a RIS server. I am able to download the image from the RIS server using the VM. When finished with the download, I have to reboot the VM. The image is not able to load, any ideas?
