[U-Boot-Users] PATCH: Add support for booting file from dos diskettes

[Pierre AUBERT]

Dear Wolfgang,

You will find attached a patch that add the support of the dos diskette.
It adds commands to boot a file from a dos
diskette or from a subdirectory of a dos diskette and to list content
from dos diskette.

fdosboot [offset] [filename]: boot a file from a dos diskette or from a
subdirectory of the diskette. If the offset isn't specified, the file
name must start wit the character " (as for the tftpboot command). The
path of the filename is specified using the / as separator between
directorie names.

fdosls [dir]: list the content of the dos diskette or of a subdirectory.

These two commands are embedded into U-Boot if CFG_CMD_FDOS is defined
in CONFIG_COMMANDS.

The handling of the dos filesystem is inspired from mtools.


CHANGELOG:
* Patch by Pierre Aubert , 12 Nov 2002
  Add support of dos diskettes.


Best regards.

I think this extension needs some more work to make it more generally
usable for other media holding a DOS filesystem, but because of  lack
of  time I decided to add it as is (hoping somebody else will jump on
it).


Ummm... please make sure to run the MAKEALL script before  submitting
a  patch!!!  Your  patch broke support of a couple of boards (I fixed
this).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
