Hi Everyone,
I've just downloaded DSL and the boot.img file. I've burned the ISO to a CD and rawwritten the boot image to a floppy. I tried booting directly from the CD but received the message saying it couldn't find the CD-ROM device (I see others have gotten this message to). So, I tried booting from the floppy.
Everything goes well until it tries to load the kernel...
When it gets to the kernel loading stage it just sits there forever. I see the light on my ZIP 100 drive flash but never once does it actually access to CD ROM drive. So, I tried booting with the following options:
dsl fromhd=/dev/hd1
dsl fromhd=/dev/hd2
No difference. I'm assuming that /dev/hd0 would refer to my Win32 drive so I won't try to boot from there. Any ideas how I can get DSL to boot? I am really wanting to get my wife introduced to Linux and hopefully end up with an HD install. But I need to be able to boot the thing first. LOL
Thanks,
NightChild
