At the very fist time I worked as follow
- - copy all floppy on a folder on my PC (Linux)
- - copy initrd.lrp from this folder on /tmp/initrd.gz
- - gunzip /tmp/initrd.gz
- - mount -o loop /tmp/initrd /mnt
- - cp ide-mod.o >> /mnt/boot/lib/modules
- - echo ide-disk >> /mnt/boot/etc/modules
- - echo ide-probe-mod >> /mnt/boot/etc/modules
- - umount /mnt
- - gzip /tmp/initrd
- - copy /tmp/initrd.gz into the original folder
then
- - insert the cf into an adaptor (ide or PCMCIA)
- - perform dmesg to see the device
- - with fdisk /dev/device create a partition:
- fdisk /dev/device
- n (new partition)
- p (primary)
- 1 (first)
- Default (first cylinder)
- Default (last cylinder)
-------
- a (make partition bootable)
- 1 (partition)
-------
- t (change partition type)
- 1 (partition)
- 6 (FAT 16)
-------
- w (write and exit)
- - make filesystem mkdosfs /dev/device
- - install syslinux syslinux -s /dev/device
- - avoid syslinux from your directory (the goot was created by syslinus
on your CF): rm /the_directory_from_floppy/ldlinux.sys
- - Mount cf card mount /dev/device /mnt
- - Copy all files
- cp /the_directory_from_floppy/* /mnt
- sync
- umount /mnt
- - Extract CF and use on your system
