Bug#65379: boot-floppies: drivers.tgz Error messes up screen
Also, I had the following painful experience which messes up the screen:
please forward to whomever should be getting this message (my
apologies).
I am using a recent image root.bin (May 21, 2000) which I picked up on
the web site.
When you execute the shell, and try to `more' a binary file (such as a
file in /target/lost+found after a crash) you get the familiar mess on
the display. Sometimes the mess stays on (blinking, graphical
characters) after `more'. The bad news is that it will stay garbled even
after you quit the shell and even if you use the menu `Restart
configuration'. The only way out is to reboot. Unfortunately, in my
case, that was a reboot after every lookup into lost+found.
I think the problem would be very easily solved by providing a `reset'
capability to the terminal of the boot floppy.
