I have released Mknbi 1.2-3 at http://etherboot.sourceforge.net/distribution.html Changes in this release from 1.2-2 are: + Added the --rdbase option to mknbi-linux, for specifying the memory location of the ramdisk. + Added some tips by Phil Davey on creating bootable MSDOS images. + Henk van de Kamer pointed out that 2.88 MB floppies actually have 80 tracks and 36 sectors instead of 160/18. It doesn't matter for network booting, but I changed it to reduce confusion. + Merged in changes by Peter Lister to support --rootmode=rw|ro. + Round down top of memory as returned by memory sizing routine to next lower 4kB boundary to make sure that ramdisk will be aligned properly. + Implement missing functionality per spec: appending additional kernel options from the vendor selection. RFC1533_VENDOR_SEL option holds value of tag that holds the options string. If the 7th argument exists, append it to kernel options after the global options, but before keyword=value substitutions. |
