Re: Regression: cannot boot the real thing from floppy

Hello,

Not a surprise, as the new code has only been tested on 1.44 MB floppy.

Looks like there is a missing "#ifdef FD360" in the boot sector new code...

Now tracked by issue https://github.com/jbruchon/elks/issues/253

Thanks for the report,

MFLD

Hi,

I'm having access to my old XT for next couple of days so I decided to
give the latest ELKS a go. Since I still don't know how to boot it from
CF-IDE card (I can boot FreeDOS from it), I'm still booting it from 360k
floppy. Unfortunately, nowadays it only prints MINIX and reboots itself
after a while.

I managed to make it boot again after reverting following commits on
master:

93b57f474cb0e3fa9917b4783781cd405c944b04 [libc] Data segment starts with
nil data
9e038b816014f83c0808df1ee5697380cd6be499 Revise bootblocks for GCC-IA16

(the first one is reverted mostrly to reduce conflicts when reverting the
other one).

I guess something went wrong with implementing new features.

Cheers,
Paul
