[ECOS] Re: Help with floppy start up type]

[praveena@netindial.com]

Thanks a Ton Mr.Larmour!!

It did work by changing the diagnostic channel to 2. Actually when I was
making the above change and enabling the gdb stub in build options, it
didnt work. But when just change the diagnostic channel without GDB stub,
I could perfectly boot the application directly from floppy.

Cant we have the gdb stub when booting the application??
