This all makes sense, but I'm stilling having the same trouble :->. Let me summarize and see if anyone can provide some advice:
- Using an older Pentium 166 box with a newish 13GB HD. - Have a 500MB FAT12 partition as C: - This was formatted using Caldera DOS and boot fine into DOS. - I have an autoexec.bat that runs "loadlin @loadlin.cfg" - Linux 2.2.19 starts fine and does recognize ide0 and hda1. - VFS the reports an error "VFS: Can't find a valid MSDOS partition on dev 03:01". - The boot fails. Now the strange part: - If I boot from C:, but then quickly insert the floppy in A: the system boots fine and loads the .lrp files from the floppy. - At the linux prompt I then try to mount /dev/hda1 by hand I get the same VFS error. Any advice or pointers would be appreciated, as I'm pretty stuck.
