New install of FC2

[Tom Broadhurst]

John,

Yes, everything is set up correctly in the BIOS.

On an attempted boot I get:

Hard Disk 1 Installed WDC WD75DA-00AWA1

Floppy A: Installed

Adaptec AHA-2940 Ultra/Ultra W BIOS v1.21
(c) 1995 Adaptec, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

<<< Press <Ctrl><A> for SCSISelect(tm) Utility! >>>

SCSI ID:LUN NUMBER #:# 0:0 - SEAGATE  ST51080N         - Drive 82H
SCSI ID:LUN NUMBER #:# 5:0 - TOSHIBA  CD-ROM XM-3701TA
=================================================================
A BOOTABLE CD-ROM IS DETECTED IN YOUR CD-ROM DRIVE...
=================================================================
   The boot sections on your bootable CD-ROM are:
     0. DEFAULT ENTRY

SCSI ID:LUN NUMBER #:# 6:0 - SONY    SDT-5000

BIOS Installed Successfully!

Then it just sits there.

Seems it knows a bootable CDR is present, but doesn't know what to do with
it.

Tom

Good Folks,
 
I'm trying to install Fedora Core 2 over RH9.
My machine can read the CD's, but can't boot from them.
Yes, they were copied as iso disk images not as a single file.
Can I boot from a floppy to start the install?
If so, where can I get an image to load onto floppy.
 
My installation skills seem to have turned newbie.
I'm a long time, 10 years, Red Hat user, but haven't had to re-install in a
long time.
 
Thanks for any help or URL's you point me to.
 
Tom

Tom~
If the iso's are images, then check to see if your BIOS is set to boot from
cd.  I just finished a 'fresh install' of FC2 over a previous Linux install,
and it was fine.
