[Voyage-linux] memdisk: iso checksums failing

[Michael Steinmann]

my PXE running in pfsense (192.168.100.1) works like this:

SERIAL 0 38400
# CONSOLE 0

DEFAULT menu.c32
ALLOWOPTIONS 0
PROMPT 0
TIMEOUT 0

MENU TITLE --== Install Voyage ==--

LABEL rootmenu
    MENU LABEL ..
    kernel menu.c32
    append pxelinux.cfg/default

LABEL Voyage
    MENU LABEL ^Voyage 0.6.5
    KERNEL voyage-0.6.5/vmlinuz1
    APPEND initrd=voyage-0.6.5/initrd1.img boot=live fetch=tftp://
192.168.100.1/voyage-0.6.5.filesystem.squashfs live-getty noautologin
all_generic_ide debug console=ttyS0,38400n8

LABEL Voyage
    MENU LABEL ^Voyage-One (0.6.5 based)
    KERNEL voyage-one/vmlinuz1
    APPEND initrd=voyage-one/initrd1.img boot=live fetch=tftp://
192.168.100.1/voyage-one.filesystem.squashfs live-getty noautologin
all_generic_ide debug console=ttyS0,38400n8

the files are from the live-cd
make sure not to place the filesystem.squashfs in a subfolder.
