RE: [leaf-user] boot floppy to boot Bering cdrom
Yea. I did put the apm=off no-hlt in the isolinux.cfg and it worked fine. What it means is that I have to mount ... -o loop all bootable ISOs, change the isolinux.cfg for every CDROM, burn a new CD again to make it work for every CD. It will be nice if I can do it a floppy and let the floppy to boot up the CD. I did some modifications on the boot.ima floppy image (came with the LEAF CD) and try to make it work. Still have problem with it. I will find a way to make it work later. Thanks anyway.

Re: [leaf-user] boot floppy to boot Bering cdrom
Or if you want to mess around with the ROM programming you can boot directly from CD using Smart BootManager. I can send you such a version of SBM which is modified to be run from the Realtek NIC ROM.

Is there a floppy image available to just allow me to boot up from the floppy which then in turn to boot up the Bering ISO from the cdrom ? I believe the Bering CD-ROMs available use isolinux to boot, rather than the floppy disk emulation mode (which would provide a ready-made floppy boot image). It's pretty easy to roll your own, however. All you need is the proper kernel and initial ramdisk image and a boot-loader. You can grab the proper kernel and initial ramdisk from the Bering CD-ROM. Syslinux is probably the easiest boot-loader to use when working with floppies...you can find it at kernel.org, and the tarball includes both a dos and linux executable. Once you've syslinux'd your floppy to make it bootable, and copied the kernel and initial ramdisk file, all you need is an appropriate configuration. You should be able to copy the kernel command line from the isolinux configuration file on the CD-ROM. If you run into problems, fire off a specific question to the list, and you should get quick help. -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The best thread debugger on the planet.
