Is that right? If we assume we have one payload for GRUB and another for
Etherboot (etc.), then creating an actual boot diskette with Java on Linux
becomes something like this (?):
public void createBootDisk( byte[] payload ) {
OutputStream output;
try {
output = new FileOutputStream( "/dev/fd0" );
}
catch( IOException e ) {
// uh oh.
return;
}
try {
output.write( payload );
}
catch( IOException e ) {
// uh oh.
}
try {
output.close();
}
catch( IOException e ) {
// uh oh.
}
}
I have downloaded a GRUB boot image; but, I've been unable to boot with
GRUB. I understand how Etherboot works. GRUB is still a mystery.
