Unfortunately, I need more modules than will fit in the bootdisk.img file.
I didn't try your exact steps, Jason, but I have my own set of instructions
that are quite similar. If I copy in all the modules I need, I fail in the
last step when moving the initrd.img back to the bootdisk. Is there a way
to increase whatever limits the size in this step?
If your usb drive is bigger than a floppy (of course it is) then you
should be able to create an empty "floppy" image that is much bigger
than a regular one, and then put all of your stuff in that - I'm
guessing ...
I don't know the exact parameters to pass to 'dd' but it would be
something like this:
dd if=/dev/zero of=bigFloppy.img bs=1k count=3000
mkfs -t ext2 -F bigFloppy.img
Then you can loop mount your bigFloppy.img and fill it with your goodies.
This is all hypothetical and I have never tried it - just making some
suggestions ...
