Instructions for booting from DOC-2000 chip?

[Vadim Khamlinsky]

You cannot boot with doc2.fff file . Doc2.fff is not a real firmware .
Sometimes people use it before they switch to a patched lilo. ( the original
Lilo sometimes
gets stuck when diskonchip firmware is on ). If you want to boot from the
DiskOnChip you'll
have to use a real firmware like doc42.exb or doc42p.exb .

I've looked all over, and from what I can gather, you need to update
your chip from DOS with "dformat.exe /win:d000 /s:doc2.fff /y" (or the
linux equivalent).

I've done that, but I still can't get it to boot, in fact now I don't
even get the "dLI" that I used to.  Though I can mount it and read
and write it from Linux 2.4.2 (using your drivers I'm guessing).

The lilo I got from M-Sys but changed the patch to work with your
major number instead of the M-Sys one.

Do I just need an updated doc2.fff file?  If so, where do I get it?
I got mine from www.m-sys.com dos utilities version 4.2 and Linux
drivers version 4.2.1 (they would let me read and write too, but no
luck booting with these drivers either).

Any help?  If I need to use grub, fine. (I'd prefer LiLo though)  I
just need it to boot Linux (with only 1 full size ext2 partition).

I have 2 machines:
    Advantech PCM-4823
    Advantech PCM-4823L

I have 2 chips:
    DOC-2000 16MB
    What looks like a DOC-2000 8MB, but your drivers say Milenium.

I haven't yet tried anything with the 16MB chip, because I've
gotten nowhere on the 8MB (the first one I picked up, and tried
getting to work).

Thanks, Ralph.
