Yet another way to do this:
cmp image.bin /dev/fd0
or
diff image.bin /dev/fd0

One thing that I've written which is at times helpful is a little
application in Tcl in order to verify that your floppy image has
indeed been trasferred correctly to the disk. It's kind of slow,
because it both reads and writes the image, but with the quantity of
bad disks out there, it can save you from scratching your head when
something doesn't quite work.
It's available here:
http://dedasys.com/freesoftware/
Look under 'scivoli':
wget http://www.dedasys.com/freesoftware/files/md5check.tcl.gz
gunzip md5check.tcl.gz
./md5check.tcl image.bin /dev/fd0
You have to have the right permissions, of course.

Take a look at the following page about how to build a floppy-booted
application:
http://ecos.sourceware.org/docs-latest/user-guide/setup-i386-pc.html
It explains everything there.

hi
I have build the RedBoot image for an i386 PC
(Redboot.bin file).
it works when i reboot my system.
i also build the ecos library for an i386 PC
(default).
i compiled and linked the ecos example file
"hello.c", as said in the "Embedded software
development with eCos " book. It produced two files
"hello.o" and "hello" .
how can i create a floppy image of the example
"hello", to boot it from floppy directly.
regards
sivaraman
