When it came to selecting media to install from I chose cd-rom, /dev/hdf but a
message returned saying that the mount was unsuccessful.
Use:
/dev/hdc if your CD drive is Secondary Master
/dev/hdd if your CD drive is Primary Master
Or just try the others until you get it right.

That would be the slave drive on the the third IDE controller. This seems excessive for a 16 Meg 486 box. If you have a single HD and CD its more likely that your HD is /dev/hda (master drive on first IDE controller) and the CD is either /dev/hdc (master drive on second controller) or /dev/hdb (slave on first controller).

install can't read from cd
Hi there, Can anybody help with the following, I'd like to be able to try debian... Disappointed with rh6 I thought I'd give debian a go. I ran the cd through dos (d:\install\boot) and successfully mounted the root directory, init swap. When it came to selecting media to install from I chose cd-rom, /dev/hdf but a message returned saying that the mount was unsuccessful. 486 CD is an ATAPI in IDE drive 16 M ram IDE cache controller Note that rh 5.2 doesn't ask for any info regarding the cd, just loads from it, so it's not a problem with the cd I feel. Would someone be able to point me in the right direction, either with some documentation or some help? Thanks. regards, shane.
