Neither 2.16CE nor 4.00 will boot from live-CD on Gabrielle's scsi cd-rom drive, but 2.14R will. Any Puppy can be recompiled to boot and find its pup_save from a specific scsi adapter, provided the source code / patchset are still available, and provided one has a free evening or two.Aitch wrote:Is it possible/could you confirm/otherwise that 2.14R or other puppy kernels could be made to work with scsi booting?
Of course, yes. You could boot into MS-DOS7 and call grub4dos (grub.exe) from autoexec.bat.Aitch wrote:...could a small partition be put on the scsi drive formatted to fat32 with dos loaded into it, e.g. via w98 bootdisk & sys C:\ command
I don't know. I've never tried wakepup on scsi. When I need to boot a usb stick, on a machine which lacks that capability natively as an option in its own BIOS setup, I do so using pakt's original wakepup2. I've never had to boot from scsi or cdrom using wakepup, nor use wakepup in a situation beyond the original's capabilities.Aitch wrote:...or maybe found with wakepup2008 and a marker
