I'm still hacking away at my IA-1. My current situation is
I have a CF card that will boot ElDorito and under LINUX
I can perform many operations on the CF card and also the
SanDisk card. Following are some observations and questions.
I can read and write my CF card with WIN98 and WINXP. Doing
a SYS E: on WIN98 creates the 3 boot files that I can see
with DIR /A but this will not boot on the IA-1. I've gone
through this process with DOS6.22 and it will not boot.
I also tried a DOS image with DiskProbe under WINXP
Eldorito boots and runs from the CF card.
Under a CF-booted Eldorito I have copied Eldorito to hda1
on the Sandisk. I can see the files with ls -a /dev/hda1.
This will not boot when boot order is changed to C first,
- with or without the CF card inserted.
Of course I've tried to load and boot the other images
M41, workstation, Eldorito, a DOS6.22 image, etc. None
of these will boot from hda1 on the SanDisk. I tried
re-formatting the Sandisk to one partition and installed
an ext2 file system. Nothing worked,
Is it possible that my IA-1 will not ever run from the
internal Sandisk.
Is there in existence anywhere an image other than Eldorito
that will boot from a CF card.??
Still tring in Atlanta
