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?
