Hi,
I’m trying to load a boot image on a compact flash card and I’m having a few difficulties. Here’s what I think makes the most sense (I’ve tried variations on these with little success):
fdisk hd1 delete -a
fdisk hd1 add -b -t77
fdisk hd1 show
(this results in the first partition being 54Mb even though the disk is 64Mb, this big a difference seems odd to me)
dinit -h hd1t79
It asks if the file will be lost, yes
states that the loader used is: /bunch_of_dirs/ipl-diskpc2-flop
(is this the best loader??)
mount hd1t79 /fs/cf
cp boot_image.ifs /fs/cf/.boot
When I boot this, the cursor just ends up blinking forever
However if I don’t create a partition using fdisk and use the dinit command as: dinit -h -hd1
When I boot this up, it gets a disk error: Hit Esc for .altbootD
I’ve also tried including the boot image in the dinit command with no luck.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
