That gets back to my original question: I have a "linuxbios.strip" file that's exactly 64KB. How can I add Etherboot to it and still have a 64KB image?
Is this a problem with my objdump utility? Or do I have to manually _overlay_ the linuxbios.strip file and Etherboot? And if the latter, how do I know how much space I have for Etherboot? Where have I gone wrong? Thanks, Jeff On Sat, Aug 16, 2003 at 07:08:51PM -0400, steven james wrote: > Greetings, > > The fallback image has to be pieced together.
