Hey guys, I'm working through JamesM's tutorials and I'm having some problems with .img files for the floppy.
My Mac doesn't have the loop and losetup commands that James' tutorial uses for updating the floppy image. I'm running Ubuntu on VirtualBox to compile things, but for some reason, the losetup commands in his update_image script don't work...
What I need help with is how can I create a floppy .img file with grub and my kernel on it.

Re: Making floppy .img files
What do you mean by "they don't work"? Does running /sbin/losetup as root say 'No such file or directory'?

If you have seen bad English in my words, tell me what's wrong, please.
