To install the tarfile bootsector
---------------------------------
Create the makeboot program:
$ make makeboot
Create the tarfile
$ tar cvfV /dev/fd0 ENIAC monitor.out item2 item3
Make it bootable
$ makeboot /dev/fd0
Note, the distribution tar file is made using this procedure and can be booted
if uncompressed and copied onto a raw floppy.
To install the minixfs boot sector
----------------------------------
Make a minix filesystem on the floppy:
$ mkfs -t minix /dev/fd0 1440
$ mkfs -t minix /dev/fd0 1200
Make the bootblock program.
$ make minix.bin
Install it
$ cp minix.bin /dev/fd0
Place a Linux-8086 executable in the root directory.
$ make monitor.out
$ mount -t minix /dev/fd0 /mnt
$ cp monitor.out /mnt/linux
$ umount /dev/fd0
Or in a tar file:
$ make monitor.out
$ mount -t minix /dev/fd0 /mnt
$ tar cvf /mnt/linux monitor.out long list of other files
$ umount /dev/fd0
This works on my 3 1/4 floppy, and it _should_ work on any double sided
drive. Be sure to make the filesystem the full size of the floppy.
To boot the floppy in DOSEMU
----------------------------
$ dos -A
Press ^C to exit DOSEMU from inside monitor.c
