I have made all the changes according to LRP-DOC-Howto and Charles has been
kind enough to send me a kernal with DOC support compiled in.
Except for the 'rdev' step, I now have a floppy that fully boots and I can
mount the DOC as 'fla1'.
The floppy boot tells me that it located the flash at MAJOR 100.
Next I did the DOS based 'rdev LINUX 100 0' supposedly to point to the DOC
to boot from. I edited SYSLINUX.CFG to point to 'fla1'. I copied
everything to the DOC and rebooted without floppy. Perhaps it is worth
mentioning that the DOC is usable if I boot from DOS floppy.
When attempting to boot LINUX from the DOC, I get a warning that I need at
least 608K (DOS based) memory to boot Linux. I don't get the chance to
hold CTRL because it immediately tells me the boot 'failed'.
Does anybody know why or what I have done wrong? I don't get the memory
warning from floppy (which uses the exact same kernal except for the 'rdev'
change).
