Thanks a lot or your reply.
All these days, I was not able to reply, there was some problem with my

login or so,,, not sure.

I have taken up ur advice and have dropped the use of uclinux. I am
just using a normal linux kernel.

Well now that I have got my kernel image as vmlinuz-KERNELVERSION, not
I need to create a bootable floppy to boot a dumb target that does not
have Linux in it. I also need to include a small application. What
should I do next?

I have also checked the grub.conf file... It has appended the lines for

the new kernel.
The initrd-KERNELVERSION.img file is also present.

Which are the files I need to copy into the floppy?
Should I format it as an ext2 file system?

Should I go for a compressed file system if I do not have Linux
installed in my target?

Can i run a small c program at startup/ Will this be an entry into
embedded system?

Please reply
 Thanks in advance
Marshia
