You're seeing this error because the default configuration is linux - which is for a floppy-based boot. The most recent CDROM should use cdrom as the default config. In any case, press F10 to get a list of current configurations: turned out I forgot to make the appropriate title page the default (sigh). > From an older post of Dave's I tried this at the > initial boot prompt: > > boot: linux conf=testcd.cfg > and > boot: linux conf=cdrom.cfg > > and LINUXRC goes through, complains about not finding > /dev/fd0u1680 several times, then loads the packages and > runs.

All you need at the boot prompt is a CDROM configuration and that's it. The CDROM configurations are in the F10 screen and are: smallnet, largenet, rescue, firewall, cdrom, and testcd. > I'm sure I missed something along the line, but the Dec 17 > .iso is the first one that's worked for me. I'm very pleased with the way things are shaping up with the Oxygen CDROMs. The main problems with the current image are: * Incorrect default text screen - and perhaps wrong default configuration * largenet SegFaults... > Dave, is the "linux conf=largenet.cfg" the way I'm > supposed to test the largenet.cfg? No - at the prompt type: largenet ...and hit enter. There is also the flag "verbose" to make it talk a lot, and the flag "ramdisk_size=xxxx" to increase the size of the RAM disk. Apparently, increasing the size of the RAM disk doesn't make a difference. -- David Douthitt UNIX Systems Administrator HP-UX, Unixware, Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
