Re: Debian Rescue Floppy
I do have hda1 on my hard drive where all my files
are; the message was that a kernel image "root=/de.v
(sic!)" could not be found (the command was
"root=/dev/hda1").
When I use the "command line" I cannot find any
"target" where all my hd stuff is supposed to be,
according to the "rescue floppy", nor can I find any
"hda" at all! Only floppy.
The "hda1" would be in /dev/, wouldn't it?
Thanks, Hearthstone.
