Re: [ECOS] Redboot Query

[michael shiloh <michael at magrittesystems dot com>]

how did you create the redboot floppy?  and what version
of tools and ecos are you using?

sounds like the classic "forgot to use the template" .
you'll find it discussed in the archives. 

if that is the problem, here is the solution, in summary, assuming linux:

  ecosconfig new pc redboot
  ecosconfig import $ECOS_REPOSITORY/hal/i386/pc/current/misc/redboot_FLOPPY.ecm
  ecosconfig tree
  make

  fdformat /dev/fd0
  dd conv=sync if=/whatever/install/bin/redboot.bin of=/dev/fd0
