Rick Hawkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] mentioned:
My new drive came, and i'm trying to do a fresh install, as some stuff got
tossed in strange places a few months ago.
I've already found that base-files.deb won't install onto a raw file system,
so I have the .tgz untarring at the moment (gee, this maxtor is louder than i
expected). ANd the only .tgz I could find wa sin bo, which I had to download
4 times--though i think it was two different files.. hmm, i still get the
same
message that no such file or directory.
anyway, the problem is going to be lilo. I don't have a floppy (one arrives
in a few days) from which to boot. I need to tell it to install lilo onto
/dev/hdc, but write that this is /dev/hda, and that it should take the image
at /dev/hda1/vmlinuz, with a root of /dev/hdc3.
Ive found the man page, but it's not clear as to exactly what is affected by
changing the root--it looks like if i try to put it onto /dev/hdc, it will
then try to boot from there, even after i move it to the primary controller.
ANd I only get one shot at this, or i have to wait until the new floppy
arrives to use the system at all.
