Err, ...
please notice that there is a complete set of bootstrap & co in the latest
boot floppies, (or at least there should be) that is designed to be used with
the kernel found under apus/linux.
the bootstrap command is in the apus/bootstrap dir. there is even dmesg and
bootmesg stuff, as well as a Linux and Linux.ramdisk script to be adapted to
your need as an example of what to write in it.
Please try it out and send me your comments on it, so that i can improve it
(my apus box is currently dead, so i cannot test it myself :((( )
Friendly,
