Creating a Custom Boot Disk
---------------------------
Blocks of binary data can be combined into a boot disk in either ATR format for
Atari or DSK format for Apple::
$ atrcopy boot --help
usage: atrcopy DISK_IMAGE boot [-h] [-f] [-s [ASM [ASM ...]]]
[-d [DATA [DATA ...]]] [-b [OBJ [OBJ ...]]]
[-r RUN_ADDR]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f, --force allow file overwrites in the disk image
-s [ASM [ASM ...]], --asm [ASM [ASM ...]]
source file(s) to assemble using pyatasm
-d [DATA [DATA ...]], --data [DATA [DATA ...]]
binary data file(s) to add to assembly, specify as
file@addr. Only a portion of the file may be included;
specify the subset using standard python slice
notation: file[subset]@addr
-b [OBJ [OBJ ...]], --obj [OBJ [OBJ ...]], --bload [OBJ [OBJ ...]]
binary file(s) to add to assembly, either executables
or labeled memory dumps (e.g. BSAVE on Apple ][),
parsing each file's binary segments to add to the
resulting disk image at the load address for each
segment
-r RUN_ADDR, --run-addr RUN_ADDR, --brun RUN_ADDR
run address of binary file if not the first byte of
the first segment
One of ``-s``, ``-d``, or ``-b`` must be speficied to provide the source for
the boot disk. The ``-b`` argument can take an Atari binary in XEX format, and
will properly handle multiple segments within that file. If no starting address
is supplied (or, if using an XEX, to override the start address normally
contained within the XEX), use the ``-r`` option. Otherwise, the run address
will point to the first byte of the first binary segment.
