Greetings,
I'm searching for a GNU/Linux distro to put in my old Pentium 90-based PC. DSL sounds just perfect, so I'm trying to test it in Bochs 2.2.6 first. FWIW I'm used with Debian Etch, although not a GNU/Linux master.
I downloaded current.iso, that is 2.2b at the time of writing, and checked its MD5. Set up a Bochs virtual machine with 24 MiB of RAM (as my real hardware) and booted from the CD image as hdb, no floppy, 1 GB hard disk image as hda freshly dd'd from /dev/zero (CHS 2112/16/63).
I've tried the default boot, expert mode, failsafe and install, but with all of them the system refuses to start with the following messages (this is from expert, even rising to 64 MiB of RAM, no SCSI and floppy modules, unknown hda partition table of course):
Accessing DSL image at /dev/scd0...
Setting paths...awk: awk: No such file or directory
awk: awk: No such file or directory
Total memory: kB
expr: syntax error
expr: syntax error
Creating directories and symlinks on ramdisk...:cp: memory exhausted
Done.
Starting init process.
INIT: version 2.78-knoppix booting
INIT: No inittab file found
Enter runlevel:
Everything useless at this point. The same happens if I use no HD image.
Thanks for any hints,
Salvo
