| |
I am having trouble getting a 2.4 vmlinuz (bzImage) and initrd image onto a 1.44 floppy with all the new stuff. Even a stipped down kernel compiled under 2.4 is @ 600K compressed, and I need about 800K for the initrd image. I noticed that syslinux has some comments about not allowing initrd to span media.
I there something more current that does or will allow me to load the inittrd off a CD-ROM device (with vmlinuz and syslinux on the floppy). I know how to do this with GRUB (Grand Unified Boot Loader), but I want to use syslinux if possible.
Thanks
