Hi,
I have installed Debian 3.0 on an AlphaWS. The installation
went very smoothly and I made a rescue floppy disk also.
I have a question here. I do the following to boot from Harddisk
From SRM Prmpt:
>>> b dkc0
aboot>l
0:1/vmlinuz ro root=/dev/sda1
aboot>0
Booting to multiuser mode.
Can I use the same procedure to boot from rescue floppy?
(The SRM boot device specification is different)
Thanks in advance.
Kumar
I wanted to boot from the floopy disk.
I got the prompt "aboot" after executing the command "b devicename".
I then executed the command "l" in aboot promp to find out the kernel
and device name. Depends on the kernel version I write 0 or 1.
Can I use the same method to boot from floppy?(On floppy I have only 1
kernel)
