No progress bar when encapsulating boot.wim

[stesch79]

Hi

I am using PXELINUX 6.03 with wimboot 2.4.1 and I am loading my image with this commands from pxelinux.cfg\default:

com32 linux.c32
append wimboot initrdfile=bootmgr.exe,boot/BCD,boot/boot.sdi,boot/boot.wim

When loading this option, I do not see any progress in percentage when wimboot is encapsulating the big boot.wim file. It just says "OK" after a minute.

How can I display a progress in percentage or a progress bar?

You could use iPXE instead of pxelinux. That will give you a progress bar (and should also load your .wim within a couple of seconds, assuming you're using HTTP and a gigabit LAN).

Unfortunatly, we do not use HTTP. So there is no possibility to get the progress bar with pxelinux?
