Re: Gotta small problem... :?
do you want the the floppy to be FAT formatted?? if yes then your bootloader must have the BIOS Parameter Block (BPB), when it does then you can just copy your file over, but your bootloader must be able to read the FAT file system in order to retrieve the file
if you don't care if the floppy is FAT formatted then you can use DD to copy your file the same way you copied your bootloader except you have to add the **seek** parameter to specify a location that you know its not used in the floppy.
this copies a 512 byte file to the floppy at sector 1000
Code:
dd if=faty.bin bs=512 of=/dev/fd0 seek=1000
this retrieves the 512 bytes from the floppy in sector 1000 and saves it into file skinny
Code:
dd if=/dev/fd0 bs=512 of=skinny.bin skip=1000
