Assuming that I have a floppy error, I'm attempting to generate a custom boot floppy that does more retries in fd.c. I build the kernel on my working 2.0 system, mount the boot floppy and copy the kernel over. Now, upon booting the floppy I get changing root device to fd ... exec /stand/sysinstall: error 8 init: not found panic: no init The kernel's config is patterned after GENERIC, with some stuff removed that I don't have. I'm unable to "make boot.flp" coz I'm short on disk space on my working system. Hints appreciated. TIA.
