I need to build a boot/root disk that will :
support SCSI hard drives
support a standard floppy drive
support an ISA D-Link Ethernet card (Ne2000)
support DEVFS, ext2, MSDOS and XFS filesystems
include FDISK
include the NFS client software
I already have a kernel compiled, but it's quite huge (~900k, no modules). I read the BootDisk-HOWTO about 10 times, and it's really obscure on a lot of points. Basically, I need a boot/root disk (all in one or on two disks) that will let me boot, format a SCSI hard drive, and use an ISA D-Link ethernet card to fetch some data on an NFS share.
Any pointers? The best thing I found so far isYard, which is a script that will create a custom boot-root disk from a kernel I supply and from whatever binaries I need included... But the scripts dies without much more info. I don't mind using a pre-existing boot disk (debian, let's say), and including my own kernel.
Thanks!
