How to Create your floppy image with your kernel
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all, you must "flatten" the kernel object:
# objcopy -I elf32-big -O binary -R .note -R .comment -S vmlinux vmlinux.bin
You can now compress kernel with gzip (bzip2 is not supported by EMILE):
# gzip -9 vmlinux.bin
# gzip -9 vmlinux
You can copy first and second level bootloader and kernel to floppy:
# emile-install -f first -s second -k vmlinux.bin.gz /dev/fd0
# emile-install -f first -s second -k vmlinux.gz /dev/fd0
