Now in Linux

Post by salil_bhagurkar »

I am currently trying to make linux as my dev environment. I am done with nasm and Bochs... Now i need a program that will create a virtual grub floppy in which i can copy my newly compiled os image and tell bochs to boot into it... In Windows I did it using VFD. But how do i do it in linux?

If your OS is sector based, IE no filesystem, use DD to create your image file.
