A few things need to be considered: * How does the kernel try to find the system information that is usually exported by the BIOS in quite old-fashioned ways? At a minimum, the kernel needs to know how much memory is in the system. LB does not offer the same methods as a BIOS to learn this. * Does the kernel use other BIOS interrupt services? LB does not offer any. * How large is your kernel? If it can fit with LB in the boot flash (which is between 256kb and 1MB) you don't need the floppy at all. * Is the floppy a requirement? Currently no other payload than a full kernel (Linux or other) with it's own floppy drivers can read from the floppy drive. //Peter -- linuxbios mailing list linuxbios@linuxbios.org http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
