etherboot, blkdev and floppy boot



Hello again,

tahnks to Boris and Markus for the '-n' option of echo. :-)

But here is my next problem. Booting from net and hda1 works
fine with a file made by mknbi (linux/blkdev).

Trying to boot from the local fd0 or fd1 failed.

I made the blkdev file with
'mknbi -x lieschen'
within the mknbi-blkdev directory. Outputsize was 2kbyte.

The essential part of /etc/bootptab looks like the next lines:
****
 :T192="X-Terminal:::/tftpboot/bootfiles/vmlinuz.nb.ne2000::0i0p":\
 :T205="NT GwDG:::/tftpboot/bootfiles/hda1:c8136abd84a741a774f8a3fda4e30203:1i0p:":\
 :T206="Diskette (A):::/tftpboot/bootfiles/fd0:c8136abd84a741a774f8a3fda4e30203:1i0p":\
****

A symbolic link from hda1, fd0 and fd1 to the blkdev (lieschen) file exists.

Once again: any hints?

Lars
