Dear Mr Ronald G

  Now I have two issues about Linux-BIOS booting IDE ,I hope you can help me!
 
  1)I hope my computer  boot from Linux-BIOS and load kernel from IDE harddisk,
not from DOC.SO I add "BOOT_IDE=1" into m758lmr+.config  ,but when I use the command as follow:
   linuxbios.init m758lmr+.config 
,linux.bin.gz, linuxbios.strip and docipl can not be created.(Before I add BOOT_IDE , the command was
worked well),why?
  
  2)In linux ,After I insert two modules the DOC2000 and Docprobe (doc_config_location=0xfffc8000 )and use
 command "flash_on",I can recognize DOC . The problem is that I can not recognize DOC in DOS.(I would like
  to use tooling such as DINFO or DFORMAT to serch DOC,but failed),why?

  the hardware : a. pcchips m758lmr+
                            b. two bios :linuxbios and normal bios 
  the kernel of linux is 2.4.19
  
regards

Zengqi
