I just booted the slackware-9.0-iso on a rather old
Compaq Deskpro 2000 (pentium 120 MHz with f00f bug),
did a 'dmesg|head' and found this:
Kernel command line:
BOOT_IMAGE=/kernels/bare.i/bzImage initrd=initrd.img load_ramdisk=1 \
prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=6464 rw root=/dev/ram SLACK_KERNEL=ba
Hi, Richard:
I have two computers that (can not|will not) boot from CDROM drive.
Hal had a similar setup wherein one of his computers would not boot
from its SCSI CDROM (or would not boot some odd release of
Slackware-8.1.1 from its SCSI CDROM drive). So I was trying to find
a way to copy files

Hal:
I've created slackware-8.1-iso & slackware-9.0-iso CDROMs.
I have exhausted attempts to use them as install media
while booting from a single floppy.
There ought to be a way to copy files from the CDROM to
an existing hard drive partition (root file system). Then
using a single boot floppy

Hi, Hal:
I downloaded slackware-9.0-install.iso and burned a CD.
The resultant CD boots on two of three computers that I
tried it on. I suggest going to the above URL and downloading
the iso image. Here is a mirror that seems close to me:

compiled my own kernel later. :-|

If you can boot any OS to the IDE/SCSI machine, copy the CD contents
