Subject: [Leaf-user] Eiger image to a bootable cdrom
first off i know that there has been *tons* of requests on this info but for
some reason i can get it to work right. i have been running a version of
eiger with a new kernel (ide support) with ssh and a few tweaks here and
there.... it work prefectly but i would like to take that image and dump it
on over to a cdr to boot from, with no boot floppy. now i am able to mount
and view the harddrive and the cdrom (cdrom.o, ide-cd.o, isofs.o). What i
have been stuck on is setting up the iso or the boot image (*.bin). is
there a way that i can just copy the same boot image off of the floppy that
i have been using? when i tried this with rawread.exe it would start to
boot and then error out saying somthing like fd0 invalid(not found) media
device -- (00). i have also tried winimage but i have no clue how to use
this program to just dump out the boot image of a floppy so that i can use
cdrwin. it always gives the error that length of the boot.bin file is not
correct for this type of emulation, no matter what type i select. could
someone please tell me how to make the boot image file or just an easy way
to create an iso of the floppy that i am currently using.

The easiest way to make a bootable CD is to turn your LRP disk into a
boot-image for the CD-ROM, but there are a few restrictions. The main
problem is that your boot image *MUST* be one of the 'standard' floppy
sizes. This means 720K, 1.44 Meg, or 2.88 Meg are OK, but the commonly used
1680K and 1720K floppy sizes WILL NOT WORK for a CD-ROM floppy boot image.
NOTE: You don't have to change anything on your LRP disk to boot from CD
this way...just use a 1.44 or 2.88 Meg floppy image and burn a bootable CD.
You don't even need any actual files on the CD (just the floppy image).
I suggest using CD-RW and a multi-read CD-ROM drive to boot until you've
made a few working disks, or you'll wind up with a lot of coasters/frisbees
