Hi,
I have a NBS\001 partition starting at cylinder 10. Sectors/Cylinder is
1008 -> Starting at block 1008*10 = 10080
When copying miniroot.fs (to "d", it's i386) via
dd if=miniroot.fs of=/dev/rwd1d seek=10080
then plugging in the disk to the Amiga and booting from that partition,
nothing happens - except the floppy drive starts seeking in an infinite loop.
Hm, when I dd from /dev/zero to 10080, no floppy seek but instant reboot.
??? What's wrong here?
Since the SCSI controller is a non-supported oktagon, I try this with the
on-board IDE. SCSI-controll detached.
Bootblocks support lacking here?
Thanks
