(Is it ok to post user questions in here? I didn't find a user list only the
dev list...)
I'm trying to get a Compaq EVO T20 booting with GRUB (thin client with
soldered on flash disk on the IDE interface). Only way to access it decently
is to prepare a new firmware image in a file, then flash the box with this
firmware (through BIOS functions).
So, I have to install a bootloader at the offset of the hd payload in the
firmware file, then do a firmware upgrade, and hopefully install GRUB this
way.
My best attempt so far has been to do the floppy procedure: Concatenate stage1
and stage2 and put it right in the beginning. This just results in a portion
of the drive being dumped to screen and a halt...(with no "GRUB" in the
beginning, this worries me).
Should this have worked? Any other hints?
As far as hardware/BIOS compatability goes, all I know is that the Windows NT
Embedded loader works perfectly.
