Hi
I'm trying to make a boot floppy using busybox and ash. The goal is
to have a single floppy that will boot up into a shell where I can
execute a few commands, fdisk, mke2fs, mount, etc... I have all the
components trimmed down to fit on a single floppy. I have a kernel
with the few modules that I need compiled in. I am using LILO as the
bootloader. /etc/lilo.conf has the lines :
boot = /dev/fd0
image=/bzImage
root=/dev/fd0
append="init=/bin/sh"
The system boots fine but then I'm prompted for a root disk. When I
hit return the system fails with a kernel panic can't find init. Even
though I have init compiled into busybox.
I've tried using rdev to set the ramdisk word to 0 and set the root
device to /dev/fd0. This still does not solve the problem.
I made an initrd with roughly the same results.
Has anyone successfully made a single floppy system like this? If so,
how? Do you have a floppy image you are willing to share?
