Hi Do you remember the /dev/name of the partition on which you installed Debian? For example mine is at /dev/sda7. In my Penguin Console settings it does not seem to matter if the RAM disk is active or not just as long as I have root=/dev/sda7 video=font:vga8x8 set in the Command line under the options tab. If your Debain partition is on your main harddrive it would be sda# where # = the partiton number. If its on your second or third drive it would then be sdb# or sdc#. Using HD Setup I have in order, the mac driver partition, 3 macOS partitions, A/UX swap, A/UX SVR2 partition, then another chunk of extra space. If you count these in order the A/UX SVR2 or / partition is number 6 so I cant explain why I need to use sda7 rather than sda6, Debain see's it as sda7. If you've forgotten the partition number you have installed it on you might try opening HD Setup and counting the partitions and adding 1 to your sda#. I hope that helps in some small way. -- MaX-list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> MaX-list info: <http://lowendmac.com/linux/max.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/max-list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
