I am succesful in building a redboot(floppy) and the pc is able to bootup. The i386pc system has a IDE Flash disk. I am able to build ecos libraries and able to use fat file system on this IDE Flash disk. My plan is to put a redboot image on the IDE Flash disk so that the PC boots from this IDE flash disk instead of a floppy. I am insearch of finding solutions for the following: 1. I hope redboot(ROM) or redboot(ROM_RAM) will be needed. Am I right? 2. If I can put the redboot(ROM).bin or redboot(ROM_RAM).bin on the IDE Flash Disk and set the pc BIOS to boot from IDE , will the pc boots up with the .bin file? or what file or type of file is pc looking for booting? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot, Bhanu. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
