My understanding is you have failed to provide a viable root device, and instead gave it /dev/fd0, which you tells us it prompt you for. ..you have done the iso-burning part correctly, AFAICT. ..you screwed up the boot command line in the booting image, loopmount them and compare'm with the the original boot images. > it's just that neither of the rescue.bin images I listed above > are correct for a CD boot - i.e. they boot, but don't give me bf24 as > an available option, then even if I press enter for 2.2, they ask for > a root floppy. It's just like what you get from booting from a _real_ > floppy. ..really? ;-) Hit [tab] twice to see if you have a shell, and some commands available. ..on booting your cd, try play with my append root dev suggestion. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
