Has anyone had success in loading the ‘remote boot floppy’ with DRAC. I’ve been battling with this for hours and no success.

I’ve tried loading from a local image (with local firewall turned off), even tried from the server itself In all cases I get a timeout that the ‘floppy image cannot be loaded’. Image is a simple PCDOS (Ghost) created with Dell’s RemoteFloppy Utility.

Can’t find anything here or on the Dell site to hint what I’m doing wrong or to point me in the right direction.

If anyone has had success and could share their method it would be greatly appreciated!
