I have problem making ramfd working with 2.88 bootable floppy image, I am trying to boot from USB DVD and I can boot from simulated 1.44 floppy in combination with ramfd.sys but when I try 2.88 simulated floppy with ramfd system starts sending error massages. any other solution beside ramfd that gives you the ability copy the floppy to memory appreciated.

I should surmise the problem is that when you boot from CD it already creates a Virtual A: drive, maybe you need to create a virtual 2.88 B: drive as well ??

I dont have problem with 1.44 boot image and RAMFD, also I can boot with 2.88 bootimage but to make the USB-DVD working I have to use RAMFD to copy every thing to memory and RUN it from there so when USB drivers runs it doesn't give me error massege about corupted command.com ...
I use A drive for bootimage of 1.44 and I assume it should work the same if I use 2.88 bootimage, but ramfd hangs.
