Dear sir,
I am trying to set a boot disk with a minimalistic linux on it
i runned the following make/script file in order to create the floppy disk:
@echo "Insert Boot/Root disk (1/1, 1722) and press enter"
@read answer
fdformat /dev/fd0u1722
syslinux -s boot.dsk
mount -o loop -t vfat boot.dsk floppy
cp bootinfo floppy
cp syslinux.cfg floppy
@cp ../linux floppy
@cp ../initrd.gz floppy
@echo " Files copied:"
@ls -al floppy
umount floppy
========================================================
the syslinux.cfg:
-----------------
default linux
prompt 1
timeout 30
display bootinfo
append initrd=initrd.gz root=/dev/ram
label linux
kernel linux
=========================================================
When booting this floppy i get the following message
"Boot failed"
=========================================================
I am completly blocked on this matter and i would like to use
syslinux for this floppy. I looked in the news group and no luck!
Thanks for your time
Regards
Henri
