load data from floppy


Hi,

I am in the midst of writing an article on eCos, and of course I
wanted to create a neat hack to write the article about!

To make a long story short, I have a bunch of data that I would like
to load up off the raw floppy image.  Probably up until the end of the
floppy if possible.

Loading the data as a .h file doesn't seem to work as it makes the
disk image too big (I get errors when linking).  So I was trying to
determine the best way to get the data in memory.  I experimented a
bit with making the load not stop at _edata, but I'm not sure exactly
where the payload might end up being stashed if I do that.  Maybe
another pair of routines instead of endload that keep reading from the
disk to a known good location?  Other thoughts?

Thankyou,
