Boot

Floppy image set

This floppy set will boot a Slitaz stable loram version. You can write floppies with SliTaz bootfloppybox, Windows rawrite or simply dd:

# dd if=fd001.img of=/dev/fd0

If you have a CD-ROM, an USB port and an USB key or a network card, but you can't boot these devices directly, then try floppy-grub4dos first. This 1.44Mb floppy provides tiny programs to boot these devices without BIOS support and some other tools.

You can start with one of the 3 following flavors :

Start your computer with fd001.img. It will show the kernel version string and the kernel cmdline line. You can edit the cmdline. Most users can just press Enter.

The floppy is then loaded into memory (one dot each 64k) and you will be prompted to insert the next floppy, fd002.img. And so on up to fd003.img.

The loram bootstrap will then start and you will be prompted to insert extra floppies for base, justx and core flavors. You can bypass this by using Q and Enter.

Each floppy set detects disk swaps and can be used without a keyboard.

Good luck.
