Hi,
Thank you for your answer.
Here is my experience:
- It seems that Windows will only see the first 1.4MB (or so) from the
floppy, even if I attach a bigger file: it was seeing only a few files from
the first directory.
The file was created like this:
head -c 50000000 /dev/zero > myimage.vfd
mkfs.vfat myimage.vfd
mount myimage.vfd /mnt/floppy/
mount myimage.vfd /mnt/floppy/
-- copy desired file to the floppy
- It looks that there are no WHQL amd64 drivers (Windows 7 at least didn't
accept the drivers). I had to load the i386 ones for the installer.
- You don't need the floppy thing after all: the cdrom can be swapped at
install time with the one that has the drivers.
Best regards,
Cristian
