Easier way to create floppy disk images?
- by Bryan
I'm using Vyatta routers with KVM and want to attach a floppy drive with a config file for Vyatta when I boot the image. I'll be doing this over and over again, and as such am looking for an automated way of creating the floppy images.
Right now, I'm doing the following:
Create floppy image with qemu-img create
Format floppy image with mkdosfs
Mount floppy image with mount -t fat /tmp/floppy.img /media/floppy
Populate floppy image with cp -r /tmp/configs/ /media/floppy/
Unmount floppy image with umount /media/floppy
Save floppy image with mv /tmp/floppy.img ~/floppies/
Any chance there's an easier way to do this?! Perhaps a shortcut application that I can give a directory to and it will do all this for me w/out having to mount the image?
