I am at a loss. The grub boot loader says the system is unworkable but the response from the floppy triggering an unloaded machine says that there is nothing wrong with the boot loader or the relevant file structures. Are there any checks that I can carry out on the build to confirm that it is healthy? Have I wrongly called the hard disc /dev/hda7, as it is referred to in the build? martin welsh -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
