Here's a way:
o format the flash with dos or freedos
o Modify minirtl to add the ide modules or combine all modules into
one rtl file (depending on IDE compatibility of flash device)
o Copy the minirtl files to the flash device.
o copy loadlin to the flash device
o create a loadlin config file based on syslinux.cfg
o place "loadlin @config.cfg" in the autoexec.bat file
Advantages:
o Don't have to worry about IDE compatibility
o Don't have to worry about getting source to proprietry flash drivers
o Operates from RAM disk - no shutdown woes.
o The hard work has already been done by Nicholas Mc Guire (Thanks
Nicholas)
I can send you more details if you want.
That's the way I do it anyway.
cheers,
