| |
Hi, all,
I am new to this maillist. I want to boot my system from a single floppy. If I use 1.44MB, the space is too small. So I format my floppy to 1.6MB. I do the following things,
#fdformat /dev/fd0H1600 #cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage /dev/fd0 #rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/fd0 #rdev -r /dev/fd0 49552
When I boot from floppy, the console print: Loading........... But then not print other things, then system reboot again. I read arch/i386/boot/bootsect.S file and find no support for 1.6MB floppy. How can I support this floppy in kernel? If someone knows, please help me. Thanks in advance!
