Hi,
With Linux'96 (that is, 1.3.96), I discovered a problem that might have been introduced a long time ago but never fixed. I'm no longer able to take a plain ol' zImage kernel and dump it to a 3.5" double-density (720k) floppy with the cat command and expect it to boot. Instead, I get a whole bunch of
0400 0400 0400 ...
messages on my screen. Since I'm not a setup.S expert, is this problem being worked on, or is this a low-priority issue? Thanks.
