[ECOS] Regarding Floppy Startup

["George Mathew" <georgemathewkar at rediffmail dot com>]

Hi all
      I've been working on eCos to make the floppy startup a 
reality for a couple of weeks.

      From the docs that i got from net i concluded the folowing 
things

      1 ] We can store the image which contains "application + 
eCos"  on
          ROM/Flash/RAM/Floppy  as per our need.[The storage media 
differs according to the startup we are selecting]
      2]  The standard to do this is to connect the target device 
with the host using GDB.
          After doing this  we can use the 'load' command to 
transfer the image to the target.
      3]  This transfered image is stored in the RAM of the target 
at first.Now the programmer is
          responsible for redirecting it to the correct storage 
media  like ROM/flash  ..using the
          "fis"   command


         Am I correct?

     Now i will tell you  where I'm now.
       I successfully make the sample's given in the example 
directory working, using RAM start up on i386.

       Now i tried to do the same thing with Floppy startup.But 
it's not working..since i386 platform
       not supports "fis"  command I'm not able to go further.

       My assumption is ..in floppy startup, after loading, the 
full image will be writen on to floppy
       so that when the system is rebooting  our application will 
be triggered.

     Should i need to do anything explicitly, after "load" command 
for this to happen?[There's no fis in i386]

     Thanks in advance
       Regards
           George
