Sorry if this has already been asked, but I am still going thru the archives.
I am installing debian, 2.2, via the jumpstart 1.4.1 image from Compaq. target machine is a PC164/128MB/IDE drive (20GB), IDE CDROM, ether, s3VIRGE pci card, 300watt supply, keyboard, mouse. the hardware works fine. Been running NetBSD on it for 2 years. Installed the system via the checklist - so I would know what it was doing and how. All the checklist stuff works fine. Booting from CD, installing, all seems to work fine. Drive is setup: hda1 is .9g hda2 is 1.34g hda3 is the rest of the drive. booting from hard drive fails. Symptom/Problem: Booting dqa0 (no flags set or anything) <is this my problem? the system starts to boot and then comes up with a message: No concole Can't find init Then it seems to hang. Having gone thru the install, with the keyboard and console, I don't understand the "no console" message. I do not understand what the init fail message is. Any help would be appreciated. tahnks bob
