Some more feedback from userland: I'm trying to test your boot floppies on a PC164 via ARC and Milo, (specifically root.bin and rescue.bin from the directory mentioned, as of Tue Aug 07 07:07:00 2001). But so far with not much success. If I try to boot from root.bin using Milo from potato r0 (identifies itself as Milo v2.0.35-c7b Wed Feb 9 ...) using the "default" boot string boot fd0:vmlinux.gz root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1 I get the following (I double checked my boot floppies!): <Milo does some file system scanning stuff> MILO: unknown file system on fd0 MILO: failed to load the kernel Beeing not sure if Milo's file system diagnosis is correct, and knowing that a 2.0 based milo might be unable to load a current kernel I tried to use a recent SuSE (or should I say "Reinauer") Milo, more specifically http://www.suse.de/~stepan/binaries/2.2-18/milo-2.2-18-pc164 Trying to use that, linload (some *really* old stuff, "Linux Loader V1.5" from '95 I think) says [...] Swapping to PALcode at 0x0... And well, the machine just sits there. Any hints appreciated. BTW: A current list of systems, on which the latest set of boot floppies is already tested, may be helpful. Regards, Stefan Schroepfer
