I have installed the base system (10 or 11 disks, can't remember). It boots up fine, and I do the Alt-F2, login as root and do a modprobe:
modprobe wd modprobe wd io=0x280 irq=11 mem=0xcc000 mem_end=0xcffff Both give: wd.c: No wd80x3 card found (i/o = 0x280) /lib/modules/2.2.18pre21-compact/net/wd.o: init_module: Device or resource busy Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.2.18pre21-compact/net/wd.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.18pre21-compact/net/wd.o failed /lib/modules/2.2.18pre21-compact/net/wd.o: insmod wd failed I had to type that in, so barring my typing mistakes, that's the message. Those are the same parameters that work for the RedHat boot. And it does *seem* that I am using the right module. wd.o, right? I also tried different combinations of including or excluding io/irq/mem/mem_end. Any thoughts on this? Any ways that I can get debian on a 386 with only a floppy and network card?
