Hi Patrick, Luther, all I'm trying the same on a 7025-f50 box. Till now I've burned the file vmlinuz-chrp-rs6k-di-beta3-2004.03.16 on a CD using ISO format - therefore file named vmlinuz (I'm not sure if other formats will boot) On the OF prompt: 0> boot cdrom:\vmlinuz devfs=mount
Boot started and I entered into the "graphical" mode. (First time at this level of installation after 2 weeks of experiments). I'm now stuck in loading the drivers for the network card and other devices - missing ncr53c8xx I might use the driver-1.bin, driver-2.bin, but I don't know how to mount it # mount -r -t ext2 /dev/floppy /tmp/mnt returns "Block device required" Thanks in advance.
