Dear Gray,
Thanks for the quick response.
I have a quick requirement of booting my X86 with Redboot monitor.
Could you suggest some way to write to the floppy and execute it
quickly?
I mean is there a code which I can use to prepare the redboot boot
floppy by writing it to the floppy?
Waiting for your valuable suggestion.
Regards,
Mukund Jampala
