SKS Enhanced BIOS

Recommended Posts

Demonstrations:

While working on PsychOS recently I decided it'd be cool to make it load from a Computronics tape drive, so I modified the default Lua BIOS to make it also load tapes.

Following this I felt it would be nice to have a way to select boot options, so I added that.

The UI for that was kind of obnoxious, so I made that better.

Most recently, I added network boot, though I only have a network boot server written for PsychOS.

SEBIOS

wtape.lua

Usage:

flash sebios.lua "SKS Enhanced BIOS"
wtape kernel.lua

When i go to run wtape, i get the following error shown in the screenshot, i would like to use this bios, but it is not installing onto the tape properly. I have a max power system, and i flashed the bios with the exact code, and exactly as described. To create wtape, i create a new file in bin called wtape.lua, and i then go to root, and type wtape kernel.lua. I am trying to do this with openOS, and i am trying to flash openOS to the tape

Uh, wtape is for writing a boot file to the tape. OpenOS doesn't support running from a tape, and kernel.lua is just the example file.
