Memdisk and big floppy images
Dear Syslinux folks,
For a firmware update I am following the Gentoo Wiki [1] to create a floppy
image of 20 MB, so that the vendor update utility fits.
Unfortunately, FreeDOS does not load, and it seems to hang loading the
FreeDOS kernel. The original FreeDOS image boots. Do you know if that issue
is memdisk related? It?s started from GRUB with the commands below.
linux16 /boot/memdisk

...date utility fits.
I used this process to get FreeDOS on a memstick and upgrade firmwares.
The bootcode may be syslinux's, but I used `fdisk -c=dos` and `ms-sys`
to get it done (http://doc.nethence.com/freedos),
fdisk -c=dos /dev/sdb
mkfs.fat -F16 /dev/sdb1
ms-sys -w /dev/sdb
ms-sys --fat16free /dev/sdb1
