I don't know if all FreeDOS images on the net will work.
Thanks Carl-Daniel. I put the floppy I used temporarily at: http://linuxtogo.org/~kevin/SeaBIOS/test/freedos-floppy.lzma It's simple to reproduce it. Grab a test floppy from: http://odin.fdos.org/odin2005/odin1440.img Create a new floppy image: dd if=/dev/zero of=myfloppy.img bs=512 count=2880 Run it under qemu: qemu -fda odin1440.img -fdb myfloppy.img And then ask dos to format the new floppy: format /s b: Of course, you could just compress and use the original freedos floppy, but that will require a lot more flash space (>1MB). -Kevin -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
