I made my boot/root disks with rawrite2, copied disks a1-a3 and
ap1-ap4 to formatted disks. BUt I ma having problems at the start.

First, rawrite2 tells me something along the lines of "end of mark
(or something...) not found". The parens are mine. Then i get
LI and a blinking cursor. HELP!!!

I have no idea what is or might be going on, and would really like
to install the Salckware 1.1.1 on my ststem.

1. """"""""My SoundBlast 16 pnp isn't up yet""""""""""""

My machine: P166+mmx, 32mb ram, 4gb HD with Win95 and Win NT 4.0 and
redhat5.1 co-existed in different partitions.

I issued "sndconfig" within a xterm inside X Window, The program
detects the SB 16 pnp card sets it up with no error message, but when
it launch ModProbe to test out, it gets a message states: An error was
encountered running the ModProbe program."  I tried different IRQ
settings, all ends with the same message.

2nd, When I try to mount /dev/cdrom from File Systerm Manager, the
following error is returned:  Can't find /dev/hdb in /etc/mtab or
/etc/fstab.

3nd, When my machine boots, it halts at "Sendmail" for about 3-5 mins
before it goes to next step.  Obviously there isn't any mail system on
the machine right now because it is a standalone.  How can take this
mail thing out and speed up booting?

last one, Is my Zoom 56k PCI FaxModem a Windmodem that Linux can't use
to connect me to my local isp?

Experts help me out please. thanks.
