As it is getting very late for me here, I have a question, Since I'm a newbie, (no stones, please) I have followed the instructions using the DOS rawrite-2 tool, constructed all seven floppy images needed. My question involves installing the SONY CDU31A.
I have the Debian Linux edition CDRom from the boot! magazine (Nov. '97) and I constructed my disks using the DOS rawrite-2 tool, and everything is fine there. However, since I'm a newbie, my question is regarding in the CD Rom installation. I have a SONY CDU31-A, and the prompt comes up during installation asking me for a "command line argument". What?!?! What is it? (I have the port addresses in my Sound Blaster 16 manual, if that's what its talking about). What do I do with it? I type in the numbers for IRQ and whatever, and it starts looking for it....and never stops, forcing me to CTRL>ALT>DEL and having to start all over again. PLEASE HELP!!! I've tried everything I know, just as long as I don't get another RTFM again (I printed out the "Debian Linux Installation and getting started" manual by Boris Beletsky, by the way). Im following along, but I've tried 8 times just to get this thing going and as far as I have gotten is up to "install CDRom inteface" from the menu. P.S. Just in case something else goes wrong, I'm letting you know I bought Partition Magic so I could split my WIN 95 and Linux up (if I ever get it going...).
