Hi there. New testresults with XLT and NCRc810a scsi-controller with a 2.4 kernel: step1) MILO against 2.0.35 (Oct 8 1998) (sitting on my sda1 FAT) step2) Booted successfully from floppy using the (:-O) RH71 ;-)
This is the 2.4.3xx I attach the syslog details. So it should be possible to run it eventually. I have no clue to get in more details. - Harm Damsma.
