Floppy image set builder
Note 1: the web server can't upload more than 2 MB of files (kernel and initramfs) in memory.
Note 2: the extra initramfs may be useful to add your own configuration files.
Note 3: the keyboard is read for ESC or ENTER on every form feed (ASCII 12) in the boot message.
How does it work ?
This tool updates the boot sector of your kernel with
this patch.
You may add a default cmdline and an initramfs. The cmdline can be edited at boot
time but the keyboard is not mandatory.
A standalone version is available.
Each part (boot, setup, cmdline, kernel, initramfs) is aligned to 512 bytes.
The result is split to fit the floppy size.
The last floppy image is padded with zeros.
You can extract the kernel, cmdline and rootfs files with
this tool from the floppy images.
