The kernel used in the boot-floppies (and CDROM) uses the old version of
the Adaptec drivers. You may use a custom kernel in the boot-floppies.
To do so:
- Configure the kernel with the following facilities linked in: initrd,
ramdisk, loop, msdos, fat, minix, elf, ext2fs, procfs.
- Make your kernel with "make bzImage".
- Build a boot floppy disk following the installation instructions.
- Copy the kernel to a file named "linux" on the boot disk (its a dos
formatted disk).
- Change directory to the boot disk and run ./rdev.sh to to configure the
kernel.
- Optionally edit syslinux.cfg to add arguments to the "DEFAULT"
line, or add an "APPEND" line with arguments to be appended to any
user-typed command line as well as the default.
