Abstract

A method for embedding an operating system in read-only memory (ROM) is presented. In one or more embodiments of the invention, an operating system is installed onto a hard disk temporarily connected to a computer for which the system is desired to be embedded. After the system is installed, a boot floppy is made. The system files on the boot floppy are changed to indicate that the boot floppy is a hard disk and to ignore certain operating system error messages. In addition, the boot-up files are modified to include commands to create a RAM disk and to load the image of the hard disk onto the RAM disk. After the hard disk image is loaded, the boot up drive letter is assigned to the RAM disk, and the operating system is instructed to boot up from the RAM disk.
