Hello all!

I have an old HP OmniBook XE3 laptop lying around, and i figured that it might be a fun project to get it to boot over the net.

Now because i cant currently host my own DHCP in my current home setup, i had to use the ISO file for netbooting. So i downloaded the ISO and burned it to a blank DVD5 disc.
Popped it into the DVD drive and.... nuthing. Never even picks it up at all.

Now i know that it can read DVD's because i have tested the system with a Peppermint 5 LIVE Disc, and i have verified that the BIOS has been set to boot from the DVD first.
I also went as far as to verify the MD of the download

Any suggestions as to how i might get this to work?

To boot from ISO you need run DHCP server in your LAN and connect laptop over cable - wifi not work.
