Hello Mr. Porter, OK! The Rescue Disc seems to work now. However, the root1440.bin reference to a directory and file that don't exist! When I try to configure the device modules, I get the error message:
"can't open /lib/modules/2.2.6-15apmac/modules.deb" "cd: can't cd /target/lib/modules/lib/modules/2.2.6-15apmac" I looked at the directory structure under /target/lib/modules. There is no 2.2.6-15apmac directory, but the 2.2.12 directory is there instead. Then I also looked in the 2.2.12 directory, and I can't find the modules.deb file that the dbootstrap tries to open. Could you fix these problems? (I have not the skill...)
