Ok,I see.
I've already download the document,but I can't find which document mention about booting from floppy.
I search the key word "floppy" under "ecos-ref.pdf","cdl-guide.pdf"
,"ecos-tutorial-i386PC.pdf" and "user-guides.pdf",
but I can't find any document that describe about booting from floppy .
Could you tell me which document that I should  use?
Or search by which keywords?
thank's.

http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/docs-latest/redboot/x86pc.html for writing a
RedBoot image to a floppy (you can get prebuilt ones off of
http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/boards/pcmobo.html or you can build your
own).

For your own programs, while it is preferable to load via RedBoot at first,
later you can write your programs directly to floppy by just reconfiguring
eCos for FLOPPY startup and writing your program in binary format to floppy
in the same way as redboot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!~~~ For x86, the startup field can only be configured to RAM, 
                                                      I don't know why. (It is said on the short description plane while select the startup field)

It's lying. You can change it anyway. I'll fix the description.

                                                   ^^^^^^^^^----> But which program can be write to my floppy to boot the system?
                                                   :  I select startup from floppy,and buid the library, then I open the shell and go to make
                                                   : my hello program in the examples dir. I get a hello.exe, then I write the hello.exe to the 
                                                   : floppy disk using "dd", but it does not work totally.

Yes. http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/docs-latest/

> Does it need to use RedBoot?

RedBoot boots from floppy, and can be used in turn load programs other
serial or ethernet. Or programs can be written straight to floppy.

How to boot from floppy by using eCos?
My linux system is under x86.
Are there any document to describe it? 
Does it need to use RedBoot?
