Hello!
Last year I tried to place hdclone on our PXE server that I use for deployment. It did not work and I don't really recall why but I think it was due to the 2 floppy img.
One 2.88MB image would have made it work. I think I tried to put the files from floppy 2 on the first floppy after converting it to a 2.88 image but it still asked for insertion of floppy 2 anyway which broke the img boot function from PXE server.

Anyone who has a solution?

Please have a try with the USB version: Create a bootable USB drive (the same way you would create a bootable floppy). This way, you only need the GRUB to load the file kernel.map on the flash drive.

The kernel.map file is compressed using lzma, so the GRUB won’t recognize it (it only suppors GZIP, bzip2 or xz), so you’ll have to decompress it beforehand (or give the sysload.sys on the USB flash drive a try with PXE).

Compression and decompression can be done with lzmac (by Igor Pavlov)
