After installing debian 3.0 (on my second hard-drive which previously had nothing on it) I did get into the xwindows and kde bits, but couldn't find my way out and ended up closing down my computer without closing the programs first. I thought it would forgive me, just this once, but on booting next time (from the floppy, my boot copy) I get:
unable to open an initial console Kernel panic: no init found Try passing init option to kernel I put the CD with the original program in and looked up rescue. After the boot command I put rescue root=/dev/hdb and get this: [MS-DOS FS Rel. 12, FAT 16, check=n, conv=b, uid=0, gid=0, umask=022, bmap] [me=0xb9, cs=23940, #f=191, fs=5450, fl=61110, ds=15675156, de=1563, data=15675282, se=223252, ts=159132728, ls=64543, rc=0, fc=4294967295] Transaction block size = 512 Kernel panic : VFS : unable to mount root fs on 03:40 Can you help me get my init back please?
