E.5.3 Loading Milo from a Failsafe Boot Block Floppy

 

Only the AxpPCI33 is known to include failsafe boot block floppy support (Section E.5.6 Noname).

If you do not have a standard pre-built Milo .dd image, then you may need to build an SRM boot block floppy. Once you have built Milo, you need to do the following on Digital Unix box:

     fddisk -fmt /dev/rfd0a
     cat mboot bootm > /dev/rfd0a
     disklabel -rw rfd0a 'rx23' mboot bootm

Or on a Linux box:

     cat mboot bootm > /dev/fd0

If you have a standard Milo image available (say milo.dd) then you would build a boot block floppy using the following command:

     dd if=milo.dd of=/dev/fd0
