[leaf-devel] 3.1.1b3 fd device

[Per S. <ta...@us...>]

Hi,
I'm using a floopy image for booting/config and a cdrom for packages.

There are some issue with the fd0 depending on what size/format is used.
This is tested on vmware and qemu
I verified on a 3.0.2 system and write to floppy works.
In 3.1.1 some things has happening.
 
qemu -boot a -fda fw311b3_test/boot311b3.img -cdrom 
fw311b3_test/Bering-uClibc_3.1.1-beta3_iso_bering-uclibc.iso  -net 
nic,model=pcnet -net nic,vlan=1,model=pcnet



using /dev/fd0: on a fd0u1680 does not work in some situations

Using a 1440 with /dev/fd0 and you also end up with a corrupted filesystem

Using save configuration seem to work(all is to shaky to be shure)

Using backup modules and the filesystem on the floppy
You get a corrupted filesystem(use dosfsck to check image before and after)

In syslinux.cfg LEAFCFG must use /dev/fd0u1680 if 1680 format
otherwise leaf.cfg is not found and is taken from cdrom
