I have gone through hdload.S. What i get after compiling is a 512 byte
bootsector image which can load a bootrom image.
My existing dos setup will be lost if i use it. I want to set up
a batch file so that student canuse dos or linux. Is there any way
Ican make a dos executable which will load the image
I have also tried lilo-etherboot as per
http://www.thinguin.org/pub/hacks/lilo-etherboot-README.txt
I made an image as per this I can boot it from lilo . When I try to use
loadlin the following error message pops up
/*********************/
LOADLIN v1.6 (C) 1994..1996 Hans Lermen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Your current configuration needs interception of "setup.S,"
but the setup-code in your Image file is *very* old (or wrong)
Please use BIOSINTV/REALBIOS or try an other Image file
Please enter name of kernel image file followed by optional
command line parameters for Linux (e.g. root=XXXX)
or @file ( file = param file ) or "empty string" to abort:

Any clues
