I've studied recent postings, the relative HOWTO and the Kenel help text documentation and now feel that I understand what I need to do. Unfortunately, I am faced with a problem to which I can find no specific reference.
I shall recompile the Kernel (have the tarballs for both 2.2.18 and 2.4.0 -- shall use the former initially). On this machine (the only one above 300 MHz), I always boot from floppies which I make (using 'make bzdisk') when compiling kernels. Booting is very fast after the bios boot - no pause or invitation to add parameters. I'll need to give 'hdd=ide-scsi' after bios boot and can't find how to pause the automatic 'loading .....'. When everything is set up satisfactorily, I would like to add the parameter to the boot floppy - again I've no idea how. I'm proposing to configure the CD-RW in Potato 2.2r0 and the machine is a PC stand-alone with an AMD 500MHz and no real scsi devices. Can someone explain how I can solve my immediate problems. I feel sure I understand the correct kernel configuration requirements - there will be no modules to load. Grateful for help. John.
