The fiasco kernel and roottask I build are too large to put in the floppy.
I found the two files in drops-demo-floppydisk-current.img are quite small. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 166060 2005-08-15 15:53 fiasco -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 61545 2005-08-15 15:41 roottask But the ones I build are so large that there are on enough space for them in the floppy. -rwxr-xr-x 1 zhengda zhengda 639K 2006-09-16 00:25 bin/x86_586/l4v2/roottask -rwxr-xr-x 1 zhengda zhengda 358K 2006-09-16 00:08 l4/kernel/fiasco/build/main I got fiasco from CVS, and followed the steps showed in http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/fiasco/use.html I want to create a hard disk image, and then there will be enough space. Unfortunately, I don't know how to create a hard disk image. So does anyone have some ideas? Thank you.

On one hand you can 'strip' the debug information away, on the other hand it is also possible to 'gzip' the files, since grub will uncompress them transparently.

There is a harddisk image available in the OpenTC snapshot: http://tudos.org/opentc/download.xml Look into the instructions to find out how to change the disk image. Bernhard Kauer
