Folks,
A few weeks ago I ftp'd the following flopping of 5.2
to due a network sysinstall of a new upgraded HP Kayak.
53 -rw-r--r-- 1 kline wheel 53640 Jan 6 22:58 README.TXT
1448 -rw------- 1 kline wheel 1474560 Jan 6 22:53 drivers.flp
1448 -rw------- 1 kline wheel 1474560 Jan 6 22:55 fixit.flp
1448 -rw------- 1 kline wheel 1474560 Jan 6 22:50 kern.flp
1448 -rw------- 1 kline wheel 1474560 Jan 6 22:52 mfsroot.flp
pf 0:52 <tao> [5118]
I should mention that aside from my 4mm SCSI tape drive,
I'm converting the Kayak to all-IDE. I don't see how this
could make any difference in my floppy/network install
failing.
First, I insert kern.flp and boot. What happens has never
happened before in the from-scratch floppy installs I've
done over the years.
I finally see printed to the screen an error message concerning
"error 16 lba 128
"NO /boot/loader"
this followed by the floppy attempt to find a kernel. Something
like
"Default 0(0,a)/kernel
boot: error 16 lba 128"
Note that prev. installs of RH-8.0 were done by CDROM,
and upgrded over the net. tHis box will be my new DNS
server and will be loaded for bear! ...Well, if i ever
get 5.2 installed....
Anybody have any clue where I've gon so terribly wrong!??
thanks for any ideas,
gary
