Heya 
I decided to dust off the old 486 DX4 out and try DSL 0.7 on it Seeing you couldn't boot from CD from it, i created a boot disk and it worked fine. I ran DSL and found the X to be a bit slow (well derrr with 486 and 16MB RAM), but for what i want to do (mini ssh and ftp box) it ran quite fine I was pleased enough with it to do a HD install. This is where i ran into problems.
The HD is 1GB. I put ~1000MB as a linux parition (hda1 - does it matter if hda1 is bootable part or not?) and ~50MB swap (hda5). I used the DSL CD to boot in (with X) and ran the cfdisk utility via command line. It seemed fine and wanted a reboot. Did so and fine.
Then I went to install it onto the HD, booted into DSL (via X) and ran the hd install script via root (it took me to a full screen command lline where i had to run the script again to make it work). No problems during install, LILO'ed fine and then it wanted to reboot.
When it reboots and goes to read HD, it displays the number 40 all over the screen and does nothing else. What have I done wrong? Tried several times with no luck.
