Install 21
I have an Elonex NB500 with only floppy access (no CDROM) therefore use rawrite2 to make the floppies. Base14-1.bin gives "The floppy disk checksum does not match the checksum made when it was written" I have tried making the FDs with different versions of rawrite and even used a Linux system to do "dd if=base14-1.bin of=/dev/fd0" but again to no avail. Any suggestions?
Re: weird booting question
What makes a drive bootable is that the BIOS sees a partition as bootable, and you have bootblocks in the proper place. All you need to do is make sure your use fdisk to mark the boot partition bootable, and make sure lilo gets run with that disk as a target. Please note the the scripts on the disk need to refer to /dev/dha if the make that reference. If you second disk is identical to the first (Exact same geometry) You can easily achieve this ultimate backup with dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc (Correct me if I'm wrong, check to make sure I am right.) YOU SHOULD BE IN SINGLE USER MODE TO DO THIS. Good luck. -- Hacksaw = David Charles Todd BBN Technologies = Hacksaw's Employer Hacksaw's Opinions != BBN Technologies' Opinions Linux understands you.
Re: ATX power on
On some boards, it's a matter of connecting two pins on a jumper on the motherboard, the case switch performs that connection. That should translate to (if these two pins are connected, the power supply is supposed to be on, until the drop and then go on again.) Your BIOS manual might tell the tale, some careful experimentation might as well. Insert standard caveats here.
