Syslinux - Sep 2005 - MEMDISK - floppy=1 Outputs: Disk is hard disk, 1440 K, C/H/S = 80/20/18

Hi,

I am trying to load an disk image as Floppy=1, og B: using ISOLINUX.

My Config file reads:
 ------- Begining Of File -------
 	KERNEL MEMDISK 
	APPEND raw floppy=1 initrd=CERC6.IMG 
 ------- End Of File ------------

--- MEMDISK Output Snip ------
Ramdisk at 0x03b58000, length 0x00168000
command line: initrd=CERC6.IMG raw floppy=1 BOOT_IMAGE=MEMDISK
Disk is hard disk, 1440 K, C/H/S = 80/20/18
------------------------------
Se atteched picture for more output...


If I change to "APPEND raw floppy initrd=CERC6.IMG" I get "Disk
is floppy, 1440 K..."

Am I doing something wrong?
Is this the expected behaviour?
 
I notice that if I boot MS-DOS from the harddrive after loading the image as
"floppy=1" it is available as B:


The reason I need the image to be loaded as B: is that Windows Installer treats
B: different from A: making it possible to use SYSLINUX/MEMDISK to load Mass
Storage drivers during install.

You're using an old version of MEMDISK.

You're also sending the same message three times, which is highly 
obnoxious behaviour.

Hi,

Sorry about the three messages in a row, I tried to attach a message and
it seemed to bounce. 

With a new verision of MEMDISK everything now work just fine!
Thank you!


Best Regards
Harald
