Does anyone have a bootcd which uses the standard root boot floppy then before any user prompts mounts the cd and runs program on the cd?
Basically I'm looking for a bootable cd which I can go in and modify the first program it calls so I can make it do what I want, without having to create the bootable floppy myself. For some reason, the steps I ran to create my last bootable floppy are no longer valid, I keep getting the unable to open initial console message.
Here's some info on the bootable floppy settings I had:
bdlilo.conf
boot =/dev/fd0
install =/boot/boot.b
ramdisk =10000
map =/boot/map
backup = /dev/null
read-write
compact
image = vmlinuz
label = linux
initrd =/boot/rootfs.gz
root =/dev/ram0
vga = normal
I can actually fit the default kernel from fedora core on the floppy along with my rootfs. I have /dev/console and /dev/ram0 in the rootfs.
From what I read, it seems as though I'm not mounting root at the proper location, but I can't seem to see how I'm doing that.
