Installation
The TrueFFS standard installation requires the following actions:
• Copy the RADSS.COM and TFFS.COM drivers and the TFORMAT
utility to a directory on your fixed disk; and
• Make changes in the BIOS Setups depending on whether your Flash
module is to be a bootable image; and
• Install the RADSS.COM and TFFS.COM drivers in your
CONFIG.SYS file.
RADSS.COM and TFFS.COM are DOS-installable device drivers, installed by the
CONFIG.SYS file with the following lines:
DEVICE=<path>RADSS.COM
DEVICE=<path>TFFS.COM
Both RADSS.COM and TFFS.COM are also DOS-executable programs, which
may be run from the command-line. However, they will successfully install from the
DOS command-line only if the /DRIVE switch is specified.
Basically, there are two installations to consider: if you are creating a bootable disk
image, and if you are creating a non-bootable image.
To create a bootable Flash drive, follow the steps below.
1. Reboot the system and enter the BIOS Setups.
2. In the Advanced setups, cursor down to the RFA Memory Window line and
make sure that it is Enabled.
3. Cursor down to the BIOS Extension Base Address and make sure that the BIOS
Extension is Installed. Exit the BIOS Setups by saving.
4. After booting, and from the command line, edit your CONFIG.SYS file. First,
if you are running EMM386 or a similar memory manager, exclude the region
E000 to E7FF with the tag X=E000-E7FF. Save and exit.
