Subject: [9fans] Managing without a floppy disk drive
Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2002 09:31:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f9f8d0ab44ee53ba4a0454677b6ab0a6@9fs.org> (raw)
Say I had a PC motherboard without a floppy disk drive connector.
It's got IDE, USB, parallel, ethernet, PCI. However, the ethernet is
unsupported (yet).
How would I develop the ethernet driver for 9load/9pcdisk?
It does occur to me that I could plug a supported ethernet card
into the PCI socket, then develop the kernel driver by booting
it over the ether.
I've not paid attention to how USB floppy based systems (e.g.
Sony Vaio) are booted. How is this done?
Any other suggestions appreciated.
