Hi,
I'm very green to ecos and I'm very stuck. I tried to
use the
"stock" redboot.bin on a tiny PC (TS-3300) where
the A drive is emulated by flash. Well, I used
"rawrite3" to put the .bin file on the "floppy".
It seems to try to boot. I see lots of dots .....
but then it stops.
I hunted around and found some list mail suggesting
to rebuild with the enet driver off as a test. So, I'm
trying.
I followed the destructions here:
http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/docs-latest/ref/rebuilding-redboot.html
I loaded the i386 template and selected the redboot
package. Then I imported the
./packages/hal/i386/pc/v2_0/misc/redboot_FLOPPY.ecm
file. but the PC serial drivers are all grayed out.
:-(
why? I looked all over to see if there was a box
somewhere I missed, but I can't find it.
On this "pc" there is no "display" just 2 serial ports
and an enet port. I need to contol redboot from a
serial port to start with.
Any help would be so appreciated. I'll buy you an
ebeer. :-)
Thanks,
=====
