Hi:

When I tried to deploy the DSL with pxe, i encountered a problem.

The problem is the pxe booting stop as the stage where
"scanning for harddisk partitions and creating /etc/fstab..."
i waited for several hours, and it still stayed at that stage

I wonder is there any solution for that?

This makes me think your ide chipset isn't supported. Skip that part by booting with "dsl nofstab"

May I know how do you skip the booting with "dsl nofstab" because after i press the enter button after i see the dsl logo, the computer will automatically scan every part of the hardware.

You can type "dsl nofstab" _before_ you press enter (when you see the DSL logo).
