Greetings: Trying to install Slackware 8.0 in a AM586-P75 box with
32mB RAM - I can't find the magic entry/ies to install the packages
from the CD.. The CD is working OK from the Dos5.0 partition of
course. :^)..
I've tried the Slackware boot image - sanyo.i - from both the 8.0 and
7.1 distribution and I can't get "setup" to find the CDR.. The report
is always: "SJCD: Sanyo CDR-H94A Cdrom driver version 1.7
SJCD: Resetting............ reset failed, no drive found."
Ignoring that and forging ahead still no joy as later probing for the
drive fails too.. I've also tried entering parameters in the lilo
boot: but none I've tried seem to work.. (The drive port is: 0x340)
Perhaps the only answer is to copy the basic files from the CD to the
HD and then install from there but was hoping a better way.. The BIOS
of the machine does not support CD booting, so I'm stuck from that
angle.. Any suggestions?? TIA and cheers.
