I think
that this is a problem only
with chip NIC RTL8139D on coreboot because:
- many other floppy works without a problem on
coreboot/seabios
- BOOT-PROM3 floppy disk image is
not damage
- BOOT-PROM3 floppy disk is also
not damage
- tested other floppy disk with
BOOT-PROM3 and also working on vendor bios but not in
coreboot
- BOOT-PROM3 floppy & disk work
OK on vendor bios on RTL8139D
- BOOT-PROM1 floppy disk work ok with other NIC ISA 3com on
coreboot
but not
excluded, however, that this may
be a problem seabios
Regarding
seabios it seems to me that the floppy drive sounds are different when working in coreboot / seabios than
when working in the BIOS vendor. I noticed that sometimes after select Floppy from menu
SeaBIOS, have info that Floppy drive not found while try boot from BOOT-PROM3
disk. I need power down PC then power ON and now floppy
found.
Is another payload supports a floppy drive for
test?
