I'm trying to get 1.6B2 installed on a Sony Picturebook. The only
problem is that the only install method I have available is the Sony
CD51 pcmcia cdrom (sorry, I don't own the USB floppy).
Not a problem, except that I need a boot image that supports pcmcia and
pcmcia cdroms. I was thinking that bootlap may do the trick. However,
I can't seem to create a valid boot image.
I tried the following:
cat bootlap1.fs bootlap2.fs > bootlap-tmp.fs
dd if=bootlap-tmp.fs of=bootlap-big.fs ibs=2880k obs=2880k conv=sync
And then a simple mkisofs with -b = bootlap-big.fs.
All that went well. However, when I boot off that cd, I get the
following:
Disk is not from the volume set?!
Please insert disk2, and press return...
So, is there anyway to get this to work? Thanks in advance.
