First I will start by saying that I am a new linux user. I have installed the debian operating system on my IBM 365XD. However, when I try to boot the system it just hangs after "LILO loading linux". Additionally my debian boot floppy doesn't work either (maybe because of the external floppy?). Anyway, I had to make a windows 98 boot floppy which has loadlin.exe and linux on it. the autoexec.bat file executes loadlin.exe ie. " a:\loadlin.exe a:\linux root=/dev/hda1" . This is th only way I could boot my system. How can I fix things so that I can boot directly from hard disk (/dev/hda1)? If anyone has any ideas that I could use to fix this problem, your help would be appreciated
