Question about which tools to use, bugs, the best way to implement a function, etc should go here. Don't forget to see if your question is answered in the wiki first! When in doubt post here.
Sorry for this nooby question, I am new to all this but please be patient .
I was reading this.( http://www.osdever.net/tutorials/brans- ... t-tutorial ) and at the end they link it to a kernel.bin, but they don't explain how they convert that to a nice floppy.img with GRUB. I've seen some ways but they all involve a real floppy drive which I don't have anymore . Is there a way to make that img without putting it directly on a real floppy.
I'm working on Linux(Ubuntu)
I'm using Qemu to emulate.
Ty.

Since you are using ubuntu, you can use mtools to manipulate the disk image.
You will want to create a 1440KiB image, format it as FAT and install GrUB on it.
Then you can either loopback mount the image, or use mtools to copy your kernel to it
