Bootable floppy for DreamOs64 #49

Following DreamOs#54 , I'm opening this issue. Would be nice if you could make such a floppy, and I will be happy to test it as a part of laptop's coreboot BIOS.

Hi @informer2016 , thanks for your issue, i'll try to build a bootable floppy for Dreamos64.

Btw considering that the OS is targeted only for 64bits architecture, i'm wondering are there many real computers with a floppy drive and a 64bit cpu?

Hi @informer2016 i'm trying to make a bootable floppy for Dreamos64, but so far i can't manage to get a bootable floppy image using grub2 (unfortunately i can't use grub legacy, since the kernel bootup is relying on several structures specific for grub2, that means that using grub legacy would need partial rewrite of the kernel, something i want to avoid.

I'll keep you updated.
