Hi,
I am just fixing up buildimage.pl to cope with multiple kernel variants.
(Actually the script is fixed but not in CVS yet; I am still working on
the accompanying configuration files.)
With BuC 3.x and earlier, one of the supported configurations was a
CD-ROM for the "static" files and a floppy disk only for the modified
configuration (confifdb.lrp and moddb.lrp). This is still *just about*
workable provided moddb.lrp is kept small.
For this configuration, PKGPATH needs to be set to something like:
/dev/fd0:vfat,/dev/sr0:iso9660
(note "vfat" rather than "msdos" on a 2.6 Kernel, I think)
This seems to work OK.
It seems reasonable to have LEAFCFG adopt the same approach (so that
leaf.cfg can be modified on the floppy disk), and some of the template
config files (tools/iso/syslinux.ser) show this same format for the
LEAFCFG variable, but it does not work (for me). Does anyone know if
this worked with 3.x?
My reading of source/initrd/root.linuxrc is that it handles
device:fstype but *not* device1:fstype1,device2:fstype2 for LEAFCFG.
It would not be hard to fix but I am wondering whether to bother. Will
anyone actually use a floppy disk for 4.x? (Then again, what use is a
CD-ROM if you cannot save the modified configuration?)
