Do you want to be more specific? The code I described above is currently running on a machine at home; I'm trying to improve some aspects of its performance (the FAT reading code is way too slow), but it works OK for the initial test case. Booting from it doesn't work quite right yet; that's the next step. What sort of 'fake' disklabel do you want? > Luigi Rizzo Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
