Hello,

I tried different things but was not able to resolve my problems on my
own. There is no activity on the serial ports, even if output to pc
screen is disabled.

Here is my procedure to create the disk images, maybe there is a
peculiar mistake:

-- start --

ecos$
source ecosenv.sh

ecos$
configtool
	-> HW-Template i386 with 8139 network (all tried)
	-> just changed "i386 PC Target / Startup type" to "floppy"
	-> Build Library
	-> saved as "ecos/daniel1" and exit

ecos$
cd ecos-3.0/examples

ecos/ecos-3.0/examples$
i386-elf-gcc -g -I ../../daniel1_install/include hello.c -L
../../daniel1_install/lib -Ttarget.ld -nostdlib

ecos/ecos-3.0/examples$
i386-elf-objcopy -O binary a.out app.bin

ecos/ecos-3.0/examples$
dd conv=sync if=app.bin of=/dev/fd0

-- end --


Anything suspicious? Thanks for your help!

Regards,
	Daniel.
