Hi.                                                                   
I have a problem to boot from a bootdisk made on a floppy formated to 1722K 
with fdformat (/dev/fd0u1722). In case I place kernel (2.4.20) at the 
beginning of floppy (dd if=kernel of=/dev/fd0u1722) and then use rdev to say 
where compressed image is, when it boots, after message "Loading......", it 
resets computer.
In case I place small boot filesystem at beginning of floppy (with kernel   
and some /dev/ files) and use lilo to write to floppy boot loader to load   
kernel from that boot fs, while booting, I get message "L 99 99 99 99" an so 
on (compressed image is after boot fs).
I decompressed tomsrtbt, tried to do the similar thing (with lilo) as he
did, but no success, always "L 99 99 99 99".
With 1440K works fine, but it's to small.
Any advice?
Thanks.
