Sorry, more problems from me...
I get the feeling that I'm gradually inching closer to a successful
installation. However, I'm still not there.
I've RE-partitioned my hard drive. I now have a 20mb swap and about
56mb of root&usr. Anyhow I have a Mac partition for sda1, my
root&usr for sda2 and my swap for sda3. I've also removed my IIci
cache card since I heard that cache cards may or may not interfere.
The problem that I seem to be having doesn't appear to be a hardware
problem, however.
So now I open the Penguin application and I go to settings. I make
sure that my selected kernel is linux (the one that came with my
debian distribution). I also make sure that I have my ramdisk
selected. The only option that I check is use penguin colors. I
boot...
Everything goes fine at first. Then it complains that it is unable
to locate a root device. It looks for an NFS server and when it
can't find one it checks fd0/. That means that it's searching for a
floppy disk, right? What I can't understand is why? I followed the
installation readme to the best of my knowledge. One thing that the
readme does say is:
In case the installation program complains about not finding any
disks or partitions to install on, try a newer kernel or check your
partition types again.
I tried to use the 'stable' kernel from mac.linux-m68k.org (2.2), but
it crashes with an error type 1 when I try to use it. I've had it
suggested that I add to the kernel options in the booter settings,
but add what? I've checked the readme and it doesn't offer me any
solutions in that avenue. Anyway, any type of help would be
appreciated... Thanks again.
