- I'm having a little trouble running windows from PC's that were network booted.
- We are using FTP software boot-roms, and what it does is it downloads a disk
- image over the network. It then creates a ramdisk from that disk image,
- and boots that disk. Then when it is done, the image is removed to free up
- the RAM. That works fine for most things, but when I try to run
- Windows 3.1, it looks for emm386.exe in the now non-existant A: drive. Is there
- a command line option, or an environment variable I can set to tell it to use
- a different emm386.exe?
