Could there be some subtle : difference in the BIOS or moral equivalent? Could the terminal emulator : you're using make a difference? These are just wild guesses I'm afraid. : :-(
I did get it to work using some creative thinking. I created a small partition, installed RedHat on the main partition, booted into RedHat, untarred root.tar.gz onto by small partition, rebooted to the rescue floppy and specified my small partition as the root. Viola, an install screen (and no more "Insert root floppy and hit enter ...) I think I've managed to hose things up already, but hopefully it's recoverable. I'm doing this for fun, anyway :) -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet - 410 South Phillips Avenue - Sioux Falls, SD 57104 mailto://[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
