DEBIAN QUESTION RE: INSTALLATION SONY CD-ROM
As it is getting very late for me here, I have a question, Since I'm a newbie, (no stones, please) I have followed the instructions using the DOS rawrite-2 tool, constructed all seven floppy images needed. My question involves installing the SONY CDU31A. I have the Debian Linux edition CDRom from the boot! magazine (Nov. '97) and I constructed my disks using the DOS rawrite-2 tool, and everything is fine there. However, since I'm a newbie, my question is regarding in the CD Rom installation. I have a SONY CDU31-A, and the prompt comes up during installation asking me for a command line argument. What?!?! What is it? (I have the port addresses in my Sound Blaster 16 manual, if that's what its talking about). What do I do with it? I type in the numbers for IRQ and whatever, and it starts looking for itand never stops, forcing me to CTRLALTDEL and having to start all over again. PLEASE HELP!!! I've tried everything I know, just as long as I don't get another RTFM again (I printed out the Debian Linux Installation and getting started manual by Boris Beletsky, by the way). Im following along, but I've tried 8 times just to get this thing going and as far as I have gotten is up to install CDRom inteface from the menu. P.S. Just in case something else goes wrong, I'm letting you know I bought Partition Magic so I could split my WIN 95 and Linux up (if I ever get it going...).
