My notebook is not able to boot a 2.88M Floppyimage. Because this i seeked an other solution and found isolinux ( included in the syslinux package from ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot).
the create was easey: Boot Tomsrtbt, save the ramdisk, mount ramdiskimage, modified rc.S, clean mtab, compress it, create a isolinux .cnf ,copy files into a dir "isolinux" then mkisofs -o tmp.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table /mnt/tmpcd That was it. This works also on my scsi-cdrom. Would this be an option for the official version or had one had bad experience with this? isolinux.cfg: ---------------- default toms label toms kernel bz2image append load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 initrd=rootfs.bz2 root=/dev/ram rw PROMPT 1 TIMEOUT 50 ----------------- # l /mnt/tmpcd/isolinux total 1720 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Feb 11 16:20 . drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 1024 Feb 11 16:14 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 829673 Feb 10 21:04 bz2image bz2bzImage was not a legal name... -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9404 Feb 11 16:20 isolinux.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 135 Feb 11 16:20 isolinux.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 906486 Feb 10 21:03 rootfs.bz2 -- MFG Gernot
