Hi,

I am using the Massa eCos book as a guideline to het redboot going on
my dreamcast. When I follow the procedure as described in the book, after 
selecting the right target and redboot package via the templates, I get
the following error when trying to import the .ecm file for my configuration :

/opt/ecos/ecos-2.0/packages/hal/sh/dreamcast/v2_0/misc/redboot_RAM.ecm: error
Attempt to load an unknown package `CYGPKG_FS_ISO'

Although I am new at ecos I can imagine problems regarding iso fs stuff
are severe, since redboot will be loaded from an iso image on the
dreamcast cdrom. This is probably why my dreamcast displays the 
SEGA logo and copyright notice correctly, but fails to continue the 
boot process when using the cdroms I have burned so far.

When I browse the packages directory there does not seem to a package for 
iso support, and typing ISO in the 'filter packages via keyword window'
only seems to produce result regarding the ISO standards, not
the ISO9660 file system...any suggestions?

If you are reading this and already have put redboot successfully on
the dreamcast, can you also tell me if I still need to scramble the
redboot.bin file before I put it on the cdrom? I cannot find an answer
for this on the web, the best page seems to be in Japanese.

Thanks a lot for any reply...

Jo De Baer

okok Peter it is not THAT easy *grin*

Search back in the archives. I have a dim recollection that it was
once said in a discussion about the Deamcast that there was some
licence problems about this package. Its was a cut and paste of GPL
code or something.....

Ok maybe I missed the ball here... the dreamcast probably does not
care if the redboot.BIN can do iso or not. I guess it _knows_ itself
how to read the iso fs from the cdrom to _load_ reboot from it...

Still why the error? 

An answer to the scramble question, or better a hint for a document
describing the procedure itself would still be welcome though (Comstedt
page is known, but does not comment on redboot)

Thanks

Jo
