Sorry to be a bother, and great work so far. I was wondering how far along the ide work was going? I don't have a single floppy drive, and I'd like to boot the kernel. I don't think that booting the kernel will even work from cdrom even if I can make a floppy disk image. Is this correct? Also, I'm guessing that compiling this kernel under linux is no longer possible. Anyone working on that? Need help? Thanks for all the incredible work.
