Hi all,
I've been using a 4M disk image that has freedos on it for awhile now to do
bios updates in my Dell iDRAC. I'm finally crossing the threshold of available
space and need to create a new, larger, disk image.
So what process would I go through to create this larger disk image? Here are
some of the things that I've done so far from Linux:
1) dd if=/dev/zero of=disk20M.img bs=1m count=20
2) mkdosfs on the disk20M.img
3) grabbed a FDOEM.144 img from the web and dd the boot sector off of it with
the following:
dd if=FDOEM.144 of=disk20M.img bs=1 count=446 seek=62 skip=62 conv=notrunc
4) mount -o loop disk20M.img /mnt <-- and then copy whatever EXE's and such
that I wanted over to the disk.
5) umount the disk20M.img from /mnt
6) attempt to boot
This process worked for me in the past, but I haven't been able to get it to
work now that I'm increasing the disk to 20M
Does anyone have any advise on trying to get this to work?
Thanks,
Joe
