Re: ZipSpeak and talling it what drive to use

["Reinhard Stebner" <raydar clearsail net>]

Well, I looked at the readme.1st and I did what it told me to do by typing
boot=/dev/hda1 rw and the system did not talk and the disk drive did not do
anything.  the lines:

partition check:
VFS: Cannot open root device 03:01

This is the worning, as it showed on the screen.  there was no text between
the two lines.  The error message  came after it found all of the device
such as cd rom, tape drive, zip drive and flopies.  I can not remember what
alse was it said, but when I tried to scole back using the write shift plus
page up, it did nothing.  I am beginning to thing that tis thing is busted!!
