Step 1: prepare the boot floppy

Obtain a working Bering v1.0-stable or newer boot floppy and perform the following steps:

  1. Download the appropriate MTD modules for your DoC from the modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/mtd directory of the Bering modules tree. For DiskOnChip 2000 products, you will need mtdcore.o, docecc.o, doc2000.o, docprobe.o and nftl.o. The docecc.o, doc2000.o, and docprobe.o modules are in the mtd/devices subdirectory.

  2. Download a fdisk package (or equivalent) that contains the mkfs.msdos, fdisk and syslinux commands.

  3. Copy the modules and the fdisk package to your Bering floppy disk. If there is not enough room, you can delete Bering packages that you do not need or use a second MS-DOS formatted floppy disk.
