Hm, this hurts. Are you sure about 3145728? Because that is supposed to be the size of the disk in sectors (512 bytes each), which multiplies out to 1.5 gigabytes. I am guessing your hard disk is actually larger than that. Tell me about your hardware. IDE? SCSI? RAID? What devices do you have connected to each interface, and where (primary/secondary, master/slave, etc). It sounds like the BIOS's notion of the "first" disk (disk 80h in the INT13 interface) is not your boot device, which is an assumption we make right now. I can fix that assumption, but I need to understand what is going on first. > As such, I've got past the error I was getting about /dev/dsk1 but > all that seems to be happening now is I'm getting the dosemu startup > screen and nothing else. We communicate our notion of the disk geometry to dosemu. If that notion is scrambled, random bad things are likely to happen. I will need your help to track this down and fix it. After you describe your hardware, the next step will be to poke around under /sys/firmware/edd... - Pat ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Sleepycat Software Learn developer strategies Cisco, Motorola, Ericsson & Lucent use to deliver higher performing products faster, at low TCO. http://www.sleepycat.com/telcomwpreg.php?From=osdnemail3 _______________________________________________ unattended-info mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/unattended-info
