Hmmm... sorry to be so stupid. I had expected the boot sector to be
universal across all bootable devices.
Thanks for your reply.

Subject: Re: [Etherboot-developers] testing from pcmcia flash card in
place of floppy
|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.
Sure. That's why the boot sector code is called floppyload.bin.
|Can anyone suggest how I can get past this problem?
You could try to make a LILO compatible image .lilo and boot it from
syslinux or LILO. There are targets in the Makefile for making .lilo
images.
