Phil,

This reply may be late and you've already sorted things out for
yourself, nevertheless I just wanted to chime in with a suggestion as
follows:


No, definitely not too late - it is an ongoing thing that I have to sort out in between other projects and life dramas! If it is OK with you I will give this another shot in a few weeks and report back here?

BTW, do people here know about micro-kernels? How do they relate to producing a very small system for things like I am trying to do? ie being able to boot from floppies with a reasonably complete system?

Many thanks!

Regards,

Phil.


1. Copy your needed modules and the ssh add-on to a third floppy.

http://distro.ibiblio.org/baslinux/add-ons/2_2_26/modules/scsi/scsi_mod.o
http://distro.ibiblio.org/baslinux/add-ons/2_2_26/modules/scsi/aha1542.o
http://distro.ibiblio.org/baslinux/add-ons/2_2_26/modules/net/ne.o
http://distro.ibiblio.org/baslinux/add-ons/ssh.tgz

2. After booting with the first two floppies and logging in by
pressing enter, insert and mount the floppy you copied those files to.

3. Change to the /fd directory and use insmod to load your modules.

4. Set up your network connection. (e.g. "ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100"
and "route add default gw 192.168.1.1")

5. Use "pkg ssh.tgz" to install ssh add-on.

After that you should be set to mount your hard drive and dd your
image through ssh.

The caveat here is having enough RAM to load all of this into the
ramdisk BL is operating from so hopefully this isn't the case for you.
