- Subject: [ECOS] Booting Floppy Making prob!
Hi all,
I am trying to make a eCos system where host is windows [ 386 pc] . I made
the GNU binutils,gcc,gdb, for 386-pc
successfully, then I am trying to make boot floppy in this way ,steps are
1) eCos Configuration Tool File->new
2) Build->Templates hardware-> i386 PC target
Packages ->stubs
3)then save
4)build
it is sucessful
then according to the manual it is given that 1st check wheather A: drive
is mounted or not if it is then it would show like this
\\.\a: /dev/fd0 user binmode
if it is not listed then mount the floppy drive using the command
dd conv=sync if=install/bin/gdb_module.bin of=/dev/fd0 then use that
floppy for booting another floppy bootable machine.
I checked it is not there,
when I am doing this it is comming dd: /dev/fd0: No such file or
directory
then I mounted floppy drive by this command mount -f -b //./a:
/dev/fd0
after that it is showing like this
D:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
D:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
c:\cygwin\tmp on /tmp type user (binmode)
D:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
\\.\a: on /dev/fd0 type user (binmode)
C: on /C type user (textmode)
d: on /d type user (textmode)
then I applied that command
dd conv=sync if=install/bin/gdb_module.bin of=/dev/fd0
it is showing something is in unreadable char ,that mean something is
loading on the floppy
I put the same command 2nd time
then it is showing like this
40+1 records in
41+0 records out
I used that floppy to boot anothe PC which is floppy bootable .but it is not
booting
thanks
can u have any solution so that I can proceed to solve these problem
Regds.
