Try using Google to search for a solution for the problem. It is most likely that there is a boot command option that will allow you to get up and running. Something like noapic biosirq or something like that.

That looks like you're having problem on hda1 partition.... but don't worry about that.Download Smart Bootmanager from < http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/ > You can install on a floppy and it lets you boot from CD even on old machines. After that, just follow the normal DSL HD installation procedures ;) Posted by cowmamba on Jan. 12 2004,01:06
Ok i downloaded 3.7 release 1 sbminst (Linux binary, glibc) but when i downloaded it and the computer saved it as a .txt well it is that rite it dosent seem like that would be correct i mean for it being a boot file.... i put it on a floppy any way's and it dident boot ? ? wierd thanks ...for the help Posted by cowmamba on Jan. 16 2004,14:23
So is that normal i meen shouldent it be a boot image or something i dont think it's supposed to be a txt file

It's not an image, it's a program which must be executed. Read the documentation ;)
