ok. tried both hd.img and txt_boot.image and the hd.img crashes (terminates on the blue screen input screen) and the later, txt_boot.img only wants to install from cd-rom or scsi. I type as root: dd if=hd.img of=/dev/hdd "hd.img" because it's locate at /mnt/cdrimage/oxygen and /dev/hdd because i have a ls120 (imitation superdisk) Usually the problems i have are with the ls120 designation, but the image write was successful and usually have no other problems once it's recognized.
