RE: FW: FW: [Ani-users] Howto define partition size?

[Reisdorffer, J. <Jul...@ha...>]

Hi Till,

i don=B4t want to bother you, but i was curious about the actual status =
of the ANI FAT32 support :-)
So, what has happened yet?

Thanks.

Julien

Hi Julien

Sorry for let you wait this long...

You also have to change the block where the partitions get formated:
-- snip --

        *for* (*my* $part=3D1; $part <=3D $CfgData{*'SYSPART'*}; =
$part++) {
            zeroBlock($CfgData{*'INSTDEV'*}.$part);
            mySys($_parted, *'-s'*, *'/dev/'*.$CfgData{*'INSTDEV'*}, =
*'mkfs'*, $part, *'FAT16'*) =3D=3D 0
                *or* fatal(*"prepHd::parted: mkfs =
"*.$CfgData{*'INSTDEV'*}.$part.*" : $! ($?)"*);
        }
-- snap --
to something like this:

-- snip --
        *for* (*my* $part=3D1; $part < $CfgData{*'SYSPART'*}; $part++) {
            zeroBlock($CfgData{*'INSTDEV'*}.$part);
            mySys($_parted, *'-s'*, *'/dev/'*.$CfgData{*'INSTDEV'*}, =
*'mkfs'*, $part, *'FAT16'*) =3D=3D 0
                *or* fatal(*"prepHd::parted: mkfs =
"*.$CfgData{*'INSTDEV'*}.$part.*" : $! ($?)"*);
        }
        zeroBlock($CfgData{*'INSTDEV'*}.$CfgData{*'SYSPART'*});
        mySys($_parted, *'-s'*, *'/dev/'*.$CfgData{*'INSTDEV'*}, =
*'mkfs'*, $part, *'FAT16'*) =3D=3D 0
*                or* fatal(*"prepHd::parted: mkfs =
"*.$CfgData{*'INSTDEV'*}.$part.*" : $! ($?)"*);=09
-- snap --

BUT(!): Our anisys.com in autoexec.tpl still doesn't work with FAT32,=20
i.e. winnt.exe woun't boot after pre-GUI setup :(
So you must wait until we hacked the anisys.com, or you find a=20
workaround of your own. One solution would be to replace FreeDOS with=20
MS-DOS. Then you had to take the boot.img for grub again...
