by My computer:
IBM PS/2 56 486SLC2 50Mhz
Microchannel Bus
IBM SCSI on-board adapter - Conner 212 MB SCSI HDD
8 MB's RAM (Two 4 meg simms)
I managed to install debain 1.3, but I really want to get slackware 3.4
on it. I d/l'd the bootdisk "ibmmca.s" and the rootdisk "color.gz". I
also d/l'd the A, AP, and N series of disks. I boot off the image of
"ibmmca.s" and it seems to be working ok but it does not detect my hdd.
It asks for the root disk, which I give it, but then it just tells me
that I need to have a linux partition to continue with setup. The thing
is, due to debian, i DO have a linux partition, just it can't find the
physical drive. When I loaded debian I had to use the boot prompt
command "linux ibmmcascsi=7" to make it load, but when I tried that with
slackware it didn't like it. I'm thinking that I should get the dev
file for my drive out of it and put it in the root disk image, then I
can mount it, but I don't know how to get into the image from
windoze95. (It is a gz file that contains no distinguishable files)
Thanks,
Chris
