Dunno. Ironically, Windows NT SP3 can't format floppies in the LS-120 unless you downgrade ATAPI.SYS back to the SP2 version. > Also I have a custom kernel, how can I create a boot diskette which > will boot in the LS-120 drive?

The boot/rescue disk is just an ordinary floppy, so you can replace the kernel with you own, in one of several ways. Sounds as if you have a floppy drive so just use that. Otherwise you might go via any DOS medium available to linux, and then boot a DOS floppy and complete the move. You may have to rdev the kernel before you start moving it, though (or use parameters when you boot). If you're installing from a machine with an LS-120 and no floppy, it's easy if you (again) have any DOS medium available where you can put images of the rescue and drivers disks, and base2_0.tgz . > If I can get these two questions answered I can 86 my floppy drive and > use it's interrupt for something usefull (like a second network card, > or a third serial port) Cheers, -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +44 1908 653 739 Fax: +44 1908 655 151 Snail: David Wright, Earth Science Dept., Milton Keynes, England, MK7 6AA Disclaimer: These addresses are only for reaching me, and do not signify official stationery.
