Installing DSL on a SCI PCForum: DSL Tips and Tricks Topic: Installing DSL on a SCI PC started by: raifi Posted by raifi on Dec. 11 2005,16:49
Can anyone tell me how to install DSL 2.0(available on a CD-ROM from LinISO.de)? Starting the machine with the boofloppy.img does not help, Knoppix does not seem to like SCSI machines that are unable to boote from a CD Drive ;-)). Thanks in advance raifi Posted by skaos on Dec. 12 2005,18:48
Is the hard disk scsi as well? If not, you can take the disk out, put it into another pc (disconnect all other hard disks), install DSl and finally put the disk back.

Yes, all drives are SCSI.The hint on DSL WIKI ("Poorman´s Install") does not help, too. I cannot find any "boot.img". The C:\KNOPPIX\KNOPPIX file cannot be found by the DSL boot floppy. Any other solutions? Rainer Posted by roberts on Dec. 14 2005,23:51
If all drives are SCSI then try DSL-1.5 which contain some old scsi drivers.WIth 2.0+ download the additional_modules.tar.gz and place the scsi modules on a floppy. Use expert mode to load additional modules from floppy. This would be a nice project for someone to make a scsi boot floppy for the 2.x series. Sorry, I have no such old all scsi hardware. |
