We have a custom pc with a pcmcia flash card and no floppy. The flash card appears to the computer as hard drive d: To test the etherboot, I wrote the driver and the boot to a floppy on another computer, copied the first 64k from the floppy to the flash card and started testing. The floppy boots fine ... on floppy equipped machines which made me think this would be easy. But ... The flash has a problem. The first sector from the flash gets read in and executed ok. But the code that comes from the flash attempts to read the rest of the loader from floppy. Looking at the source, it seems clear, the boot sector code just assumes it comes from diskette on drive a and that it should get the rest of the code from the same place. Can anyone suggest how I can get past this problem? Eno Compton |
