Well, this step I did a little different. I put the DoC into the separate socket. On this socket I removed the pin for the CS (chip select) and connected it to a switch. The other end of the switch I put into the socket on the board. Then I booted the system, and when the LILO appeared I turned the switch on, so the Linux found the DoC. Here I would like to thank all the good people who helped me and probably I could not do it without their help. Thank you all!!! One note. They recommended me, that id use a DOS 5.x utility DFORMAT to transfer the GRUB firmware to DoC. I must say, that DFORMAT could not transfer this to DoC, it reported some errors. But I could use the Linux, doc_loadbios to load the firmware and then nftl_format to format the DoC. Then the standard fdisk, mkfs, cp, ... >now I can boot the doc alone without problem, but I can't get it work >along with hd, when they met, usually the grub take the first to boot >and hangs. > >I don't know why the problem exists, because I have another doc >(someone else made it for me) which can work properly with the hd. >so there's no concern about the bios, it must be concerned with >the grub firmware I built. but what's wrong. yet it can work well >alone. I have the same problem. If you find the solution, please post it to the mtd mailing list. If I find it, I'll post it here. Thank you once again and best regards, Mateo _____________________________________________________________ Brezplacen E-mail - http://email.star.si Brezplacen prostor 100 MB,lastna domena - http://www.slohosting.com _____________________________________________________________ Promote your group and strengthen ties to your members with email@yourgroup.org by Everyone.net http://www.everyone.net/?btn=tag
