[ros-kernel] Floppy driver bug fixed!

[Aleksey Bragin]

            Hi Eric,
I've decided to try this feature recently, and here is what I discovered:
(after updating tree from CVS and make clean, make).
1. makeflop.bat doesn't create subdirs on the floppy disks, but create files
subsys, dlls, etc on the disk.
2. Floppy must contain something bootable, but it doesn't. I thought mightbe
something like PCDOS or what should it be?
3. path in makeflop.bat are not correct - services subfolder doesn't
containt dd, fs subfolders (should be changed to drivers, I think).

I tried to make a rescue bootable Win98 floppy disk, deleted everything
except io.sys, modified makedisk.bat to create subfolders on floppy first,
but there isn't enough room on the floppy, since io.sys is 200 kb...


With the best regards,
Aleksey Bragin.
