You should not have to fix anything. It should work right out of the
box. If it does not, its generally a user error.

It seems very strange that a newbie would be trying to use the
loader. I suggest you leave that alone until you graduate from newbie
and become at least experienced or maybe Guru.

Start by building a floppy redboot image.

export ECOS_REPOSITORY=~/eCos/anoncvs/packages/
ecosconfig new pc redboot
ecosconfig import ~/eCos/anoncvs/packages/hal/i386/pc/current/misc/redboot_FLOPPY.ecm
ecosconfig tree
make

The resulting image in the bin directory onto a floppy and boot it.

All this is well documented, so just RTM,
