Hello
I've got some problems with installing a Seawolf distro on an old
pentium 133 machine with 64 Mo RAM (EDO), that cannot boot on cdrom.
So I made a boot floppy from the boot image in the images folder on CD1
(I also made a driver disk with drivers.img)
When I boot, I get the boot prompt. So I enter the text mode. The system
starts loading initrd.img, and then vmlinuz. But it fails with this error:
Boot failed: please change disks and press a key to continue.
I've tried with linux dd mode, nofb mode, expert mode, but all fail with
the same error.
I can't figure out what I am doing wrong
I've tried to boot a Knoppix distro on cdrom, with a boot floppy, and
this one works fine.
If Knoppix can be loaded, Seawolf can be installed, isn't it ??
Thanks
k.
