Subject[PATCH] Boot from floppy.
Hello,


At the moment I am trying to build a one-floppy firewall. I haven't
found a way to boot directly from a floppy without being asked 'Insert
root floppy and press ENTER' (ramdisk_prompt only works for ramdisks).
Hence, this patch.
By specifying 'rootfloppy' on the commandline to the kernel
(append="rootfloppy" in lilo), you can boot directly from a
ext2-formatted floppy - no questions asked.

The patch patches cleanly against the first pre 2.2.0. It touches
init/main.c and fs/super.c ...

... and I hope it finds its way into the mainstream kernel ;o)




Kind regards,


Brian[unhandled content-type:application/x-gzip]
