Sounds like you may have a nonstandard CDROM device. Look at the CDROM
support options in the installer. The CDROM support isn't necessary for
most modern systems, but may be required on an older one.
That's exactly the case. The W98 bootdisk has lots of CDROM drivers.
The Caldera Lisa even recognized it but I didn't know to get to a shell
to install. Am I really stupid?? I could have just switched virtual
terminals!!?
To mount a partition, make sure that /mnt exists, and create a mount
point underneath it:
$ mkdir /mnt/hd
$ mount /dev/hda[1-16] /mnt/hd
...where 1-16 refers to the partition number you're mounting. Note that
you can create (and mount) multiple partitions.
I tried several mounts like that without the intelligent [1-16]. I may
try again with that.
That's given to indicate a range. You can only mount a single partition
at a time: /dev/hda1, /dev/hda2, /dev/hda3, etc.
I understood that completely as soon as I saw it.
I don't think this is what you're trying to do though.
I am thinking I need a floppy system that has a driver for that CD.
Yes.
I am working furiously to build whatever floppy toolkit I need right now.
Thanks,
