I need a little clarification, please. The install worked, however the
boot floppy that was created by the installation menu item "Create a boot
floppy" hangs, or is it booting from hard disk that hangs?
It looks as if it is mounting the wrong root filesystem.
Would you please run "fdisk" and tell me what it says about the swap
partition that was not recognized?
Thanks
Bruce
