Hi, Just FYI: I've create a template disk image + small shell script for creating a multi-disk linux boot floppies for kernels and/or initrd's with a size > 1.44 MB. It's based on FreeDOS Beta 8, the XMSdsk ramdisk and Loadlin: http://www.rocklinux.org/people/clifford/MDLBL/ I primary wrote it for ROCK Linux <www.rocklinux.org> but it might be usefull for everyone who wants to boot larger (2.5) kernels from floppies. yours, - clifford PS: Linux-Kernel and FreeDOS-Dev List members: I'm not subscribed to the list, so please CC me if you reply to this mail....

However, I could never use a 'vanilla' syslinux for that. I'm doomed to use Distributor patched versions, which I don't really like. Why is that? Read on: Well, I can't manage to boot of a 1.44 MB
