I've actually managed to create a boot disk using dd command. I cannot
mount my / filesystem though
Partition table:
/dev/hda1 /boot
/dev/hda2 /home
/dev/hda3 /
boot: linux rescue root=/dev/hda3
Isn't this the right command to mount the / system using the CD/floppy's kernel?
Cheers,
George

Has anyone installed potato on a system with a USB keyboard?
I have a rescue and root disk, but when I'm asked to insert
the root disk and press return, nothing happens. I put the
root disk in but can't get the install to continue. It doesn't
seem to recognize my keboard.

This might not be the easiest way but ...
Try downloading tom's root/boot diskette (www.toms.net/rb) and see if
the box will IPL from it.
If it does follow the instrucctions in the append I just made to the

Yes - if memory serves, the answer was that it's a prompt with the options
[F]loppy and list-[A]ll. Numbers (1,2 etc) denote HD partitions.
Hope that's right...

You need to install a window manager other than the basic twm which

You need the file "resc1440.bin" from your cd or ftp site. Place a new
formatted diskette in your floppy drive. Then do
dd if=resc1440.bi
I think that in most cases simply dd the approptaite file will do.
dd if=resc1440.bin of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 conv=sync ; sync

IMHO anything that can be truly "fried" in this way (that is, physically
damaged) is broken as designed.

The EEPROM getting scrambled is a result of drivers probing for devices
on the bus that don't happen to be there, and hitting the network card
instead. This happens more with the rescue disk than with a custom kernel
because the rescue disk is built for every scsi and ethernet card we could
fit in

I had a similar problem with tcpdump. After I saw it referenced in a
