Hi! I'm a newbie to Debian (trying to use FreeSCO, the linux-based router) having problems booting on my old 386.
The FreeSCO system loads most of the kernel, starts to do router stuff... then hangs with a kernel panic stating that the kernel needs maths copro emulation (my 386SX doesn't have a 387...). So I thought, what the heck, let's install a proper version of Debian and see if I can recompile me a new kernel with emulation. Problem is, having downoaded the rescue disk, when I boot that I get the same problem just after the VFS tries to load up the root filesystem. Can anyone help me by either a) pointing me to a patched FreeSCO kernel with copro emulation (ideal) or b) pointing me at a Debian rescue disk image that will get me to a normal Debian install? All/any help gratefully accepted! Many thanks Jon Fawbert
