[Etherboot-developers] no floppy drive on build system

[<Gee...@xs...>]

Hello,

On the computer where I build the etherboot testfloppies,
I don't have a (working) floppy drive.

To avoid waiting on the anonying time-out message,=20
I modified a Makefile:

RCS file: /cvsroot/etherboot/etherboot/etherboot-5.1/src/arch/i386/Makefile=
,v
retrieving revision 1.20
diff -u -r1.20 Makefile

+# end of Makefile


Now I just type=20
 make bin/my-nic.fi
and can continue directly with my work.

When it is usefull for me, then it is probably usefull for others.
Could some please apply the patch?
