BOOT TRACKS CONSTRUCTION FOR THE COMPUPRO
The loader, which resides on the system tracks, is created with
the following sequence of commands:
;; The following sequence of commands may be executed from
;; a SUBMIT file.
;
RASM86 DSKBOOT
;
LINK86 DSKBOOT.SYS=DSKBOOT[DATA[ORIGIN[0]]]
;
RASM86 LBIOS
;
RASM86 LPROG
;
LINK86 LBIOS3.SYS=LBIOS,LPROG[DATA[ORIGIN[180]]]
;
;; GENLDR will create the CPMLDR.SYS
;
GENLDR [NNNN]
;
;; NNNN:0000 is where cpmldr will be loaded at boot time, so be careful that
;; CCPM.SYS will not be loaded over your cpmldr.
;;
;; End of the SUBMIT file
Now read in the file DSKBOOT.SYS with DDT86 (this can't be done under
SUBMIT) and remove the header and base page. This will allow you to
merge this into the CPMLDR file.
A>DDT86
-RDSKBOOT.SYS
START END
aaaa:0000 aaaa:37f
-WBOOT,180,37F
-^C
Now merge the two files with the following command line:
A>PIP BOOTTRKS=BOOT[O],CPMLDR.SYS[O]
Assemble and link the track copy utility with the following commands:
A>RASM86 TCOPY
A>LINK86 TCOPY
The final step is to execute TCOPY under a version of CP/M-86 1.X.
****************************************************************

****************************************************************
A>TCOPY BOOTTRKS
You should now have a system loader on the boot tracks that will
load a file called CCPM.SYS into memory and begin system ececution.
