I have a tiny kernel (not linux) and GRUB in a floppy disk. How can I make it to boot using linuxbios?
A few things need to be considered:
* How does the kernel try to find the system information that is usually exported by the BIOS in quite old-fashioned ways? At a minimum, the kernel needs to know how much memory is in the system. LB does not offer the same methods as a BIOS to learn this.
* Does the kernel use other BIOS interrupt services? LB does not offer any.
* How large is your kernel? If it can fit with LB in the boot flash (which is between 256kb and 1MB) you don't need the floppy at all.
* Is the floppy a requirement? Currently no other payload than a full kernel (Linux or other) with it's own floppy drivers can read from the floppy drive.
