Re: [ECOS] i386 RedBoot serial

[michael shiloh <michael at magrittesystems dot com>]

I had this happen with one floppy; used a different floppy 
and it worked. also i formatted the floppy first.

assuming you're using a floppy, which you didn't say. :-)

once you get past this stage, you'll run into trouble
loading and running a program.
assuming you are using a floppy, and the cvs source, 
you will find a discussion between myself and a few 
others last week that concluded that the prebuilt
binary would not work. a search through the archives
should turn this discussion up pretty quickly, along
with the solution.

hope this helps - good luck
