Hi,
Hope this isn't an incredibly stupid question. I design and build
"gaming" machines (slotmachines). Because of regulatory issues, we
cannot place game code (including the OS) on flash or hard-drives.
So, I'm using a bootable CD-ROM to store everything.
I can easily make this work by booting ROM-DOS first, then using LOADLIN
to load Linux and a ramdisk root file system. Because of both cost and
aesthetic issues, I'd like to use LILO instead of ROM-DOS.
Can anyone tell me how to make a floppy where LILO does all the loading,
including the ramdisk image? (I warned you this might be very stupid).
The reason for this is it must work through the BIOS, rather than
actually looking for the floppy at /dev/fd0, so the kernel can't just be
told that the root is /devfd0.
Thanks in advance
Peter Johnson
