Hi - daft one for Friday morning coffee break: I have been trying to mount floppies on a couple of CentOS5 servers - the usual "mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy" (yes, /mnt/floppy exists!). On both servers, the mount command just doesn't come back and I have to hit CTRL-C. I have tried different media and also changed the floppy drive on one server, /dev/fd0 is seen as present on both

Trying to be not long, on x86 I have 3 floppies images boot, root-1, root-2 Booting from boot image with no problem, I try reading root-1 and root-2 image in raw format. Reading root-1 and root-2 is made from boot init script, using klibc-1.5.9 or klibc-1.5.10 with debian insmod patch, and a vanilia linux-2.6.24.7 root-1 and 2 images are smaller than 1440 kB and are made the same way with cd

It is now possible to build a bootable floppy image which contains HDT, with my patch applied to Erwans HDT branch: http://git.zytor.com/?p=users/erwan/hdt.git;a=commit;h=16b37fe2266c920087f88cdec94243b71218d871 Unpack the Syslinux archive and build whole Syslinux first, then cd to ./com32/hdt/ and make hdt.img $ make $ cd ./com32/hdt/ $ make hdt.img Now you have a 2.88 MB floppy image which

Yes, really. I've got hundreds of the damn things here at home, and I want to go through them and get rid of them all. But... to do that I want to read them. I have both a 5.25" and a 3.5" drive, both are plugged in, but in the BIOS, all I see is the 3.5". Fine, I figure I'll take care of those. Nope. I see /dev/fd0 once I've booted up, but neither konqueror nor

Hi, I am still trying to get kick-start centos in my vmware5 because pxe cannot find the pxe server. I do not control the dhcp or pxe server. I have both my kickstart file and my iso image for centos6.5 on my vmware datastore, but am trying to run my kickstart file from VMware guest. Can I tell the command line to run from the datastore in VMWare? Or must I convert my kickstart file to a

After formatting a floppy to MSDOS format and using syslinux /dev/fd0, I successfully installed ldlinux.sys to the root directory of the floppy. Then I created a syslinux.cfg under the root directtory of this floppy to load the linux kernel in my first hard disk, 3rd partition, boot folder. The file system of this partition is ext3. The floppy has a FAT file system. This config file is listed

Hello syslinuxers I'm stuck with a scientific problem which gives me headaches: I have a laptop (Gateway MX3410) which has a SD memory card reader. Recently an interesting thought crossed my mind: why don't I setup a 2GB SD card as a harddrive and put some rescue tools on it. So I dug on the net and I came across the idea of using memdisk to boot floppy images without the need of a

On bootup, it seems CentOS automatically mounts the floppy drive to /media/floppy. Is there a way to stop this from happening, short of removing the floppy drive from the system (as I don't use it)?

I have been trying to find the information by searching through the archives and google, so I am sorry if this question has been asked before I just have not been able to find an answer. I have a syslinux boot floppy which loads to the boot prompt, I wish to load a .gz image which is on my hd0 0 by using memdisk as the kernel. I have tried to kernel memdisk append root=/dev/hd0 0 (also just

Hi, I suspect this bug has already been reported, but here it is just in case: the bootable floppies I produced with syslinux 2.10 (just by running 'syslinux /dev/fd0') are not able to 'remember' the parameters I pass at the boot prompt. Namely, to boot a USB pen from one of my floppies I pass something like boot: MoviX MEDIA=usb (where MoviX is the boot label) but the usb boot

Hello, when testing FreeBSD-7.1-BETA i discovered that the floppy disk controller doesn't work correctly. Trying to format a floppy (perhaps with bad blocks) i get: Processing fdformat: ioctl(FD_FORM): Device not configured instead of the normal E letter. I then checked the same problem is present on FreeBSD-6.3 and it has been reported by Beech Rintoul (*) in 2006! Of course the floppy disk

Hi All, I am trying to attach floppy virtual image to Windows domU. Either it is not attaching or domU is not showing floppy drive? domU config: 1. disk = [ ''file:/root/xenwin.img,hda,w'', ''file:/opt/Windows-Xp.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'', ''file:/root/win-boot.img,fd:floppy,r'' ] boot = "cda" In above format the window domU is booting but

Does anyone know of a way to give DomU a floppy disk of some sort? I need to try and load some drivers at the text mode install step of installing Windows...

Hello everybody, I''am trying to make an installation of a sles9 based system. In order to install this system after booting a floppy disk (or usb) should be "inserted" with a auto configuration file. My problem is what ever I try I can not attach a floppy image to the sles9. the command I tried is xm block-attach <dom nr> file://path/to/floppy.img /dev/fd0 w After

Hello, i want to encrypt my HDD's with GELI (not the root-fs, though). I want to do the encryption without password, just with a key. The key should be stored in a floppy disk, and the read should be read automatically on boot, from the floppy. There is a problem here, because GELI initializes _before_ mounting the disks from /etc/fstab (for obvious reasons, of course). So GELI is not able
