I've searched high and low for any clue how one can construct a
satisfactory boot disk for a Linux laptop which has an LS-120 rather than a
standard floppy. I've also experimented with several different variations,
and have made sure the kernel in question has LS-120 support compiled in
directly. In all cases, it fails, either with no response at all at boot,
or a compressed image error and a system halt, or a lilo sequence that
starts out
L 01 01 01 01 01 ... (ad infinitem).
This is true if I use a true LS-120 disk rather than a 1.44 MB floppy as well.
Has anyone succeeded at this, or is it still not feasible under current
Linux releases? I hate to order a standard modular floppy drive if there's
some other solution.
Thanks,
Jim
