Hello:
I am working on i386pc. I am succesful in building a
redboot(floppy) and the pc is able to bootup. The
i386pc system has a IDE Flash disk. I am able to build
ecos libraries and able to use fat file system on this
IDE Flash disk. My plan is to put a redboot image on
the IDE Flash disk so that the PC boots from this IDE
flash disk instead of a floppy. I am insearch of
finding solutions for the following:
1. I hope redboot(ROM) or redboot(ROM_RAM) will be
needed. Am I right?
2. If I can put the redboot(ROM).bin or
redboot(ROM_RAM).bin on the IDE Flash Disk and set the
pc BIOS to boot from IDE , will the pc boots up with
the .bin file? or what file or type of file is pc
looking for booting?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Bhanu.
