Thanks for the advice, I "kind" of have it running. So far I
1) Booted Knoppix LiveCD 2) fdisked the 3.0Gb CF into a 1Gb and a 2Gb partition with the 1Gb set as bootable 3) mkfs.dos on both 4) syslinux -s on the 1 Gb 5) Mount the floppy image and the cd image and copy all of the lrps over. 6) Configure the syslinux.cfg and leaf.cfg. 7) Replace initrd.lrp with initrd_ide.lrp Right now it is loading with the serial port enabled, but I never actually get to a console. I just keep getting error messages from getty getty: /dev/tty1: cannot open as standard input: No such device ... .. .. .. etc. Is there anything else I need to do to get it to run on the WRAP? -Eric Victor McAllister wrote: > Martin Hejl wrote: > >> Hi Eric, >> >> >> >>> I have spent a while digging around in the documentation and the >>> archives and have yet to find the answer I am looking for.
