by I tried to be good and learn from the examples of other (honestly I did).
I read the FAQ and a couple of Web pages to boot, but I still can't get my
Fall '95 Slackware Linux to mount my Sony cu31a CDROM on the lilo boot cycle.
I managed to install the Slackware Linux software to my second hard
drive using "ramdisk cu31a=0x390,0,PAS". So I thought I would be able
to edit /etc/lilo.config and add the line 'append = "cu31a=0x390,0,PAS"',
run lilo, reboot, and have my cdrom up and running. Well, no such luck.
The darn thing still goes "Searching for CD ... No CD".
I am tring to boot from a floppy. My C Drive is a DOS 6.2 drive. My
D Drive is a Linux drive. My Sony CD is connected to a Media Vision 3D
sound card. The base address of the CD is 390. Where did I go wrong?
I've tried to hold my mouth right for several late night hours. I guess
the Linux gods are still not satisfied with my humble sacrifice of midnight
oil. Any ideas?
