Linux Floppy Disk Support at Steven Don blog

Linux Floppy Disk Support. This adorable little linux distro — tinyroot — fits entirely within 1.1 mb (so it fits inside a 3.5” floppy with a little room to spare). They’re just dropping support for the isa bus driver chip family commonly used for floppy drives. Even if you don’t own a floppy drive, it’s well worth following his guide and booting the image up in qemu just to say you’ve officially built a linux system from scratch. Here are three linux distributions that will fit on a 1.44 mb floppy. The module floppy is used as a driver for floppy drives (for classical floppy controllers). Most of the floppy drives should be supported by stock kernel. A recent linux kernel is rarely if ever compiled for something as small as a floppy disk, so getting one to boot from such ancient media appeared to be a challenge. Time moves on and the venerable, but increasingly rare, floppy drive won't be supported in linux for much longer. Ubuntu recognized and mounted immediately an untouched 1.44mb 3.5 floppy disk inserted into an external usb floppy drive. Admittedly, the system is pretty limited… with very few tools included.
