Re: unable to open initial console

["Erich Morfeld" <redbeard@linuxmail.org>]

Thanks a bunch.  This was the bit'o info I needed!  I have been following the install.txt that I found with Debian-68k 2.0.  It is incomprehensible!  I am not new to computers and I have worked with Linux for a little while but I haven't been able to follow this doc.
Thanks again
