Hi everyone, I'm new into the linux universe. Now I'm running RedHat 7.1 at my laptop, but I want to test debian on my old desktop (P-90MHz/1GB/48MB).
I've done this: - download the rescue.bin file (http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/rescue.bin) - formatting a floppy - mounting it to see that it works and unmounting it again - no problems. - use the "dd"-command-whatever (dd if=file of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024 conv=sync ; sync)(file is replaced by rescue.bin) - mounting and making a ll at /mnt/floppy to see the floppy + unmounting again. Now I can boot up on this floppy. The problem appears while doing exactly the same thing as the above, but with root.bin. When I've used the "dd"-command-thing everything seems ok, but when I try to mount the floppy following happens: ----------------- [root@localhost /root]# mount /mnt/floppy/ mount: you must specify the filesystem type [root@localhost /root]# ----------------- Do anyone have an idea of what's wrong?
