Happy New Year! The documentation here - http://www.xs-labs.com/en/projects/xeos/documentation/

  • says that at the end of "make" process I will get a floppy image that I can boot

I've tried to build your OS and its' toolchain, and here's what I got at the end:

Two xeos.elf ELF files - one is inside ./build/i386/ directory, 395 KB,
and the second ELF inside ./build/x86_64/ directory, 508 KB.
But there is no floppy, can't find it! Please tell, how to obtain this floppy?

Good day @macmade ! Are you still interested at your XEOS floppy OS project, or you gave up and abandoned it?

Sorry for the delay... Haven't found the time to reactivate this yet...

Please don't write the same issue on unrelated repositories...
This will only makes me feel like I don't want to spend time to help you.

@macmade I'm sorry for opening the other issues (this one was opened since the last year without a reply and I wasn't sure how to notify...)

I'm interested at floppy-based OS because it is really easy to add them to the coreboot opensource BIOS build - with one simple command 😉 And then it's possible to boot right from the BIOS chip with a single key press. So, if your floppy-based OS is useful or fun, it will be a perfect addition - and in return I could help you by intensively testing it and sending the bug reports (at the moment I'm also helping to improve MichalOS and there's a great success) Could help to improve XEOS the same way, hopefully you are interested

Finally some good news. Boot floppy generation is back on macOS.

Unfortunately, there's now a panic in the kernel. Will look into it...
