I tried to boot a 3.0.18 boot-floppy, written on a different physical disk. I also tried 3.0.22 on a different physical disk. I even tried RH72 again, on a different floppy. All fail in the same way. As I mentioned in the original report I was able to boot linux via 'boot.bat' which uses loadlin. I chose the 'vanilla' option, loadlin.exe linux root=/dev/ram ro initrd=root.bin ramdisk_size=16384 \ disksize=1.44 Unfortunately I don't have the facility to try this method again, I installed freebsd and deployed it (as an xterm). I'm happy to try more boots from later boot-floppy versions however. Thanks for your interest -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
