Hi,
Downloaded the correct bin image.
Downloaded with IE 4.0 (so binary files handled correctly)
I must have got hold of the wrong bin image last time.
Wrote the bin image to the floppy with winimage.
Booting before applying syslinux lead to immediate failure.
Applied syslinux -s A: (version 1.48)
I need the -s switch (slow, safe and stupid) which makes my LRP 2.9.8pre
work like a dream.
I see the pretty boot screen and receive the message
Loading root.lrp... Boot failed: please change disks and press a key to
continue.
--- start of syslinux.cfg ---
display syslinux.dpy
timeout 0
default linux
append=load_ramdisk=1 initrd=root.lrp initrd_archive=minix ramdisk_size=6144
root=/dev/ram0 boot=/dev/fd0u1680,msdos PKGPATH=/dev/fd0u1680
LRP=etc,log,local,modules,dhclient,dnscache,dhcpd,weblet
--- end of syslinux.cfg ---
Regards
John Ridout.
