if you're looking at using grub for the bootloader, it's not as hard |
| 9 |
as you'd think. I've done this for building bootable flash disks a |
| 10 |
bit too often. from the documentation[1]: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
# But all the above examples assume that you use GRUB images under the |
| 13 |
# root directory. If you want GRUB to use images under a directory |
| 14 |
# other than the root directory, you need to specify the option |
| 15 |
# --root-directory. The typical usage is that you create a GRUB boot |
| 16 |
# floppy with a filesystem. Here is an example: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
# mke2fs /dev/fd0 |
| 19 |
# mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt |
| 20 |
# grub-install --root-directory=/mnt '(fd0)' |
| 21 |
# umount /mnt |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
but, if we can get away with using syslinux, things are even |
| 24 |
easier. we'd have to settle for FAT for the floppy, but that's |
| 25 |
pretty much "whatever" anyway. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
for the record, I've built a lot of stuff based on busybox (1.0-pre1 |
| 28 |
is finally out!) and uClibc, it's a lot of fun. if there is |
| 29 |
anything I can help with, I'd be more than happy to contribute. |
