I recently installed Linux on the following system:
486dx-33 ISA, 8meg RAM
Adaptec 1540 SCSI Controller
Fujitsu 420meg SCSI HD
100meg MS-DOS 6, 304meg Linux Native, and 16meg Linux Swap partitions
Paradise SVGA (512k)
In general the installation went well. The only problem I have is when I
interrupt LILO to request a DOS boot (Linux is the default). DOS fails to boot
with a -non system disk- message as if the DOS partition does not have the
necessary system files. The same parition is accessible after a floppy boot.
I have performed numerous steps, listed below, to rectify this problem
without success.
- Re-Format DOS Partition with /s option
- R&R's primary DOS partition via DOS fdisk
- Installed LILO in both HD locations
- When DOS is made the default boot OS, same occurs
Any and all help is appreciated
