Subject: rescue disk asks for rootdisk, complains about bad root filesystem
Reply-to: pfaffben@pilot.msu.edu
Bcc:
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.1.0
When I booted to resc1743.bin, SYSLINUX merely reported `boot failed'
and gave up.
When I booted to resc1743-safe.bin, the Linux kernel started
successfully, but then it asked me to insert a rootdisk even though
root.bin was on the disk. When I downloaded, wrote, and inserted a
rootdisk, then pressed Enter, it started up dinstall, but then
dinstall just reported that it `had trouble finding the root
filesystem' or similar and the system rebooted.
I think something's wrong here...
