Gateway Solo 9100 I have no idea whether the following problem is laptop dependent...
After creating the boot floppy and rebooting with it in place, instead of getting to the "creating a root passwd" part, I get a bunch of Usage: /sbin/getty ... messages, followed by INIT: ID "S" respawning too fast: disables for 5 minutes This recurs every 5 minutes. I apparently never get out of single user mode. It appears that getty is being invoked with the wrong args. Any suggestions greatly appreciated! jim 212 723-3244 Salomon Smith Barney
