There are special procedures for preparing a bootable DOC.
I can't seem to find my copy right now. I'll keep looking.
Compact flash is probably less expensive, the prices are falling faster
(check out SanDisk), much more flexible, same performance
and a piece of cake to work with.
Consider it.

Subject: [Leaf-user] LRP and DOC
I think I've put this out to the list already but just in case......
I have been able to successfully boot a floppy version of Dachstein (thanks
again Charles) so that I am able to mount the DOC. I am not able to
transfer the system to the DOC and boot from it. The Dachstein LINUXRC has
the recommended DiskOnChip entries, as does the root.mount file.
Here are the steps I have take to attempt to transfer the system to DOC.
- run syslinux against the C: drive from DOS
- copy all floppy files to C: (the DiskOnChip).
- edit the syslinux.cfg to boot from /dev/fla1
- run 'rdev c:linux. 100 1' to change the kernal (floppy boot indicates
that 'fla' is found at major 100)
- boot the PC without floppy.
This results in an immediate 'boot fail' message. Note that I have tried
minor:1 and minor:0 both with same result. Could there be a problem with
the boot sector information? Does 'syslinux' work properly on D.O.C.?
Any further input from the list would be very helpful
Thanks
John
