Improved booting for difficult hardware GUJIN

[Ted Dog]

Using gujin in place of other boot loaders gets around bad BIOS.

Here is a snippet of code to add after the CD section in the Makefile for gujin

Code: Select all

	
CDdvd:
	make clean dep tinycdrom instboot
	rm -rf /tmp/cdrom
	mkdir /tmp/cdrom
	./instboot tinycdrom.bin /tmp/cdrom/tiny.bcd --stop_emulation=0 --cmdline=" pmedia=cd"
	cp /boot/* /tmp/cdrom
	-growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -untranslated-filenames -V PuppyLinux -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -b tiny.bcd /tmp/cdrom 
	rm -rf /tmp/cdrom

copy files you wish to burn into /boot (does not exist in puppy) and
call this within gujin directory

make CDdvd

automagically burns DVD [best results use DVD+RW not DVD-R as recommended else where]

or use attached tiny.gz like such

Code: Select all

growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -untranslated-filenames -V PuppyLinux -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -b tiny.gz /tmp/cdrom

Hi

I replaced isolinux.bin with tiny.gz as the bootloader using isomaster but that cannot be right as I simply got 'press any key to reboot' though it was detected.
