I don't load any firmware into the flash
I boot from floppy DOS 3.30 use fdisk and format /s the DOC.
Then I copy loadlin and all the files for linux.
and create an autoexec.bat which starts loadlin.(with ramdisk)
Then reboot I and linux is started. In my startup script I
mount the DOS DOC on my /dos mount point with
mount -t msdos /dev/fla1 /dos
Of cource for this last step I've applied the kernel patch
from MSystems to support the /dev/fla DOC
You can download my demo floppy disk image at
<http://www.dobit.com/emblin/pub/emblin.img>
then use rawrite <http://www.dobit.com/emblin/pub/rawrite3.com>
to create a bootable floppy.
You can put this onto your DOS formatted flash
just change in syslinux.cfg
EMBDEV=/dev/fd0 into EMBDEV=/dev/fla1
or use loadlin zEmblin initrd=fsroot.gz root=/dev/ram
EMBDEV=/dev/fla1 EMBTYP=msdos EMBDIR=/emblin
