rescueflop with home-made kernel; installation requires a rescueflop but does not see mine

[Frans Schreuder]

Hai,   Having a hard time figuring this out.   Previous subject was Proliant 1000 pains in the butt, but that seemed to scare you people:-)   I got myself a working kernel for the CompraQ proliant 1000 in the form of a bzImage. I copied it to a standard rescueflop renaming it to linux. Hinting it towards the smart2-array controller and the onboard (sim710-)controller, it booted nicely. The installation menu was started and I felt happy. Then at the time to install operating system kernel and modules, it prompted me to put in the rescue flop; I did. It complained that it could not mount the floppy, I thought it was the 'home-made' flop (probably is). So I got the standard rescueflop. It could not mount that either????? Now for the odd part....... I installed the base system from floppies!!!    Any suggestions?  (rtfm; I know; but there are so many).   Thanks Frans Schreuder
