I'm a newbie to Linux, I'm trying to install
Debian Linux (ver 2.0.34) from 3.5" floppy. This is the first attempt to
install Linux, I chose Debian, becuase it was the most easily accessable Linux I
could find on the net. My computer, a IBM PS/2 (486SLC2), full specs can be
found at www.ibm.com, the only difference from
original is it has been upgraded to 16MB (from 8).
The problem is that when I boot (using defualt settings) with the rescue disk, it can't detect my SCSI hard disk. I haven't tried to load Debian straight from hard disk, and don't I want to. The Debian install prints the following errors before entering the install menu. (no particular order) IBM MCA SCSI: No SCSI Atteched
SCSI: 0 Hosts SCSI: Detected total Failed initialization of WD-7000 SCSI card. Specs about my PC can be found in the attached
text document.
Cheers

PS. how do you pause the screen before the install menu appears? |

internal memory cache controller with 16KB memory cache, larger fast
hard disks - 104 Million Bytes (MB)(model 0B6) and 212 Million Bytes
(MB)(model 0BA, 1BA and 2BA), three (3) total memory sockets with
one (1) 8MB 70ns SIMM located in socket 1 leaving two (2) sockets
available for expansion up to 16MB on the planner, enhanced IBM
Mouse, video provided via the graphics XGA-2 chip set designed to
meet the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
requirements (refer to A92-902 and A92-848), a small computer system
interface (SCSI) input/output (I/O) interface, enhanced security,
two 9-pin Serial ports, and a high speed DMA Parallel port."
