mkboot.c is a combination of: rawrite.c by Mark Becker mkbootfirm.c by Kevin Mocklin (DEC) Usage: The utility mkboot.exe is for creating an alpha-srm bootable floppy on a DOS system. Like writeboot on VMS or mkbootfirm on Digital UNIX. If the input image has a MOP header it will be stripped off. Wim Lemmers ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The help message: mkboot V1.0: create a bootable floppy syntax: mkboot [image-in] [image-out] [noboot] image-in: This image together with a bootrecord is written to the floppy disk A:. image-out:If this argument is specified the output image will be written to this file instead of to the floppy. The 2nd character being a colon (:) will cause the 1st character to be the drive letter. i.e. B: will write to floppy B. noboot: Any value here will prevent merging of a bootblock thus providing the facility to only strip of a MOP header. Note: The output is rounded up to a multiple of 512 byte and may therefor grow some bytes in size. If no name is specified this help info will be displayed.
