hi,
I am doing a platform porting for xycom 654 board. I built the floppy 
image. By the way xycom board is like a pc board with pci bus and etc. 
While I am trying to boot the redboot with the floppy, there appears some 
dots(.) while the floppy LED is glowing. then after some time it just 
stops. Nothing is appearing like redboot prompt. I assume the booting 
fails in the middle. It's not getting the stage of redboot prompt. By the 
way I am copying the redboot.bin image in the install tree by the followin 
g command

dd conv=sync if=redboot.bin of=/dev/fd0

I am developing my platform port on a I386-pc with mandrake9.0 linux. Did 
I go wrong anywhere in the whole procedure? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
sivakamesh
