When you boot from the floppy, you will see a prompt. Type linux root=/dev/<your root partition> single This should start Linux without running rc.boot Or you could just start the installation from the rescue disk. Go to "mount a previously ... partition" (or such) and choose your root partition. Then change console with Alt-F2. Then cd /target/etc/rc.boot; chmod 644 *; reboot Scripts are only executed when they have they are executable :-) Then investigate the scripts to find out what causes the trouble to you. Ciao, Martin
