Good afternoon,
I have mentioned kernel cohtestSAY13z , when using boot floppy.
Before booting from this bootable floppy You have patch this kernel

cp cohtestSAY13z cohtestSAY14z
/conf/patch cohtestSAY14z rootdev="makedev(4,15)" pipedev="makedev(4,15)".

And now You can boot from floppy using cohtestSAY14z.

BTW in order to create partition on this SSD disc You can use cfdisk :

cfdisk -c 40000 -h 16 -s 63 /dev/at0x.

After creation of partition reboot the floppy and continue the job.
Number of cylinders is arbitrary, up to circa 60000. If You want only one
partition You can use number of cylinders of the 500 MB partition, 1023.

Andrzej
