Hi Steve,
Not sure if this is going to get to you or not. It's Kyle from the old core

Don't use 'cp' but 'cat' or 'dd'. The kernel must be writed at the

Can't help with the install issue, sorry.
On a different tack, you might check out the Linux Router Project at
http://www.linuxrouter.org/ if you just want a router with IP Masquerading.
supposedly you can get all the software you need to run from a locked floppy

I guess loop back device/module is not available in boot diski kernel

your own boot disk by replacing boot option which include network device

well, i understood that, and i have my disks. but in the
installationprogram, there are two options:
- preload modules
dd driver disks (3 of them for compact) to Floppy as originally designed
like boot/root disks. Good luck :-)

A common cause of this problem is that the floppy drive may
be of the newer ATAPI type common to newer laptops
especially, as constrasted to the older /dev/fd0 floppy
type. The install kernels come with ide-floppy support
needed for ATAPI compiled in, but the kernel installed has

How long did you wait after it hung. Sometimes it can sit there for quite a
while in
that scsi-detection part but it does boot after a minute or so.

You can create a boot-floppy by doing the following steps:
1. format a diskette, under
hamm: fdromat

For more than 1GB, go to:

There was a lot of discussion about this on the linux-kernel mailing

I just wanted to thank you for your suggestion. It seems to be working!
I am having problems getting the boot procedure find the root filesystem

unable to find the root filesystem?

You can use the rescue disk by giving it a root= option, but the better
solution is just to build a boot floppy.
Hm. That sounds as if the rescue disk kernel might not be getting all of the
flags it needs. Try them manually:
boot: linux initrd load_ramdisk=1 root=0100
Other possibilities:
root.bin isn't on your rescue floppy. You need it there.
