Hi,
I built redboot image for i386 floppy successfully. And I can boot
the redboot from the floppy, too. But after I loaded linux kernel from
my hard disk, I failed in executing it. The whole console screen messed up.
Here is the command I executed:
redboot> disk
hda1
hda2
hda3
hda4
redboot> load -m disk hda1:vmlinux-2.4.20
Entry point: 0xc0105000, Address range: 0xc0100000 - 0xc02f2700
redboot> go 0xc0105000
Any solution to boot linux kernel from a floppy? I also noticed that
there is "exec" command that can execute linux kernel. But I found that
this command only exists in arm system. Does somebody port it to x86 system?
