[linuxdc-dev] Successful booting of Linux on Dreamcast

[Gregg C L. <dr...@wo...>]

[Cross posting to LinuxDC, and Ecos Discussion, and DCdev, apologies if, as
I, people receive multiple copies.]
Hello from Gregg C Levine
I have successfully booted on my Dreamcast, the Linux arrangement, created
by the group at www.m17n.org for the Dreamcast, using the ECOS Red Boot
loader, Debian Linux, as the source materials. It came up with out any
problems. The image was written to a CD-R, using a DiskJuggler image,
graciously created and provided by Adrian O'Grady, from his website,
www.fivemouse.com It happens that this DiskJuggler image, is ready burn to a
CD-R, and works out of the sleeve. However, he does provide two pieces of
documentation to explain most of the things people would need to know.

Yes, we know it boots. The photos on the site tell you that much. What, 
exactly, is your point?

Hello from Gregg C Levine
My point? Adrian you disappoint me. To quote Lord Vader, "I find your lack
of faith disturbing.". I thought it was obvious. It works here, on my
machine. It should work on everyone's, but there must be a few that it won't
work on. Why? Have you tried it? Was it your first one, that you tried? Of
course it was. This is mine. Even the kernel-boot stuff stored in the kernel
booter tar file, does not even come close.
