boot-floppies package
Hello,
We have a ton of older PS/2 MCA machines around here, many with ESDI
disks, others with the IBM SCSI HBA. Neither ESDI nor the IBM HBA are
supported by the current rescue disks.
So, in a not quite right state of mind, I decided I would make some boot
floppies so that my coworkers, and anyone else with PS/2s out there
could make use of my work rather than hack through the installs (the
usual method)
However, the boot-floppies system has got me confused. I'm not a
Makefile wizard, so digging in there is a bit tough. The documentation
is otherwise quite sparse (it says "Edit the variables in the Makefile"
:)
Here's the problem ... I need to use a special kernel image. How do I
tell boot-floppies to use it? If I give it the path to my kernel-image
package, it bombs out saying "I don't know how to make
<your-kernel-image> which is required by linux ..." which isn't too
meaningful to me. Doesn't it just want to unpack the kernel-image deb?
I'm confused.
I really don't need to remake the entire boot-disk set, just the rescue
disk and the drivers disk. Someone want to slap me and set me straight
here?
Thanks,
