Keeping in mind that I need a bootable 1.44 MB floppy image, I:
1) Extracted the 'bootdisk.ima' file from the 3.0.2 bin/ISO file. This is now the start of my new floppy image. 2) Added the modules 'configure.lrp', 'etc.lrp', 'initrd.lrp', 'libm.lrp', 'local.lrp', 'moddb.lrp', 'modules.lrp' and 'root.lrp' from the same bin/ISO file to this new floppy image. 3) Modified 'syslinux.cfg' in floppy image to look like this: display syslinux.dpy timeout 0 append reboot=bios default linux initrd=initrd.lrp init=/linuxrc rw root=/dev/ram0 LEAFCFG=/dev/fd0:msdos boot=/dev/fd0:msdos 4) Modified 'leaf.cfg' in floppy image to look like this: LRP="root config etc local modules libm" PKGPATH=/dev/fd0:msdos syst_size=16M log_size=4M 5) The virtual machine I created is configured for 256 MB of RAM, 2 NICs, no HDD, one CPU and boot from my new floppy image. 6) I boot the virtual machine, log in as root, in lrcfg I enter '3' for 'Packages configuration', '3' for 'modules', '1' for 'kernel modules to load at boot' which brings up '/etc/modules/'. 7) I remove comments for 'crc32', 'mii' and 'pcnet32'. Save and exit editor. Quit back to main screen and enter 's' to 'Save configuration', I have 187 KB free. There is the following message in the save output: Creating configdb.lrp Please wait: \ New Package: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2694 Apr 8 13:22 /tmp/config.lrp Old Package: ls: /var/lib/lrpkg/mnt0/configdb.lrp: No such file or directory Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use % Mounted on /dev/fd0 1024 1237 187 87% /var/lib/lrpkg/mnt0 Enough freespace? (y/N) To which I reply 'y'. There are no errors while it saves. 8) Exit to command prompt. 9) Mount second floppy disk which contains a copy of pcnet32.o extracted from Bering-uClibc_modules_2.4.33.tar.gz. Output from 'uname -r' confirms that I am working from kernel version '2.4.33'. 10) Copy 'pcnet32.o' from second floppy to '/lib/moduels'. 11) ls of '/lib/modules' to confirm presence of 'crc32.o', 'mii.o' and 'pcnet32.o'. 12) Init 6 13) During the reboot there are no error messages other than this (the modules load fine): Configuring network interfaces: ifup: Don't seem to have all the variables for e th0/inet Cannot find device "eth1". SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device done. ls of '/lib/modues' shows that 'pcnet32.o' is not there. How do I fix this. Sorry for the long windedness, but I thought it best to be complete.
