hi,
this question was posted and asnwered awhile back. but i can't
seems to have it resolved still.
i try to copy the pre-built image of redboot for pc platform
onto floppy disc in order to boot from drive a:.
in cygwin,
$ mount
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (textmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (textmode)
c:\cygwin\tmp on /tmp type user (binmode)
C:\cygwin on / type user (textmode)
\\.\a: on /dev/fd0 type user (binmode)
c: on /c type user (textmode)
so floppy drive is mounted correctly.
$ dd conv=sync if=redboot.bin of=/dev/fd0
dd: /dev/fd0: No such file or directory
this command takes about 8 seconds to execute before error
message is printed. and the light of floppy drive is on for
a while. i have checked the floppy and media and they work
fine in windows.
any idea? thanks for help.
kc
