Howdy all,
I have a Toshiba Tecra 8000 laptop that I had installed 4.7-release on
awhile ago using just the kernel and mfsroot floppies and then getting
everything else via ftp.
Well, I decided to start all over on this system, only with
5.0-release. I actually made the mini-inst cd, but I booted from the
floppies because my cd drive won't boot CDR discs.
I noticed that it didn't seem to give me the option to configure the
kernel like it did on 4.7, so I just went ahead with a standard
install. However, it gave the following errors trying to mount the cd.
Error mounting /dev/ac0 on /dist: Operation not supported by device (19)
I'm pretty sure the drive is operational and I know the cd is good
because I can mount it on another machine (which I did to make the
floppies). Anyway, so then I decided to install via ftp (as I had just
done with the 4.7 floppies a few months ago). However, when I booted
with the 4.7 floppies, it asked me if I wanted to configure the pc cards
(I set usable memory and such). This didn't happen with 5.0, but I
could watch on the boot of the floppies and see dmesg output for pccard0
and see the LEDs go solid for my linksys 10/100 card.
But, when I go to select the FTP site, I only see sl0 and ppp0
devices. Nothing for my ethernet card.
I'm sure I've done something foolish, so any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Shane
