I used the Noritake-primo rescue disk and could load the kernel :).
But when I put the root disk the instalation was stoped with a kernel
panic, as you can see below:
------------------------------------------
VFS: Insert root floppy and press ENTER
[MS-DOS FS Rel. 12,FAT 12,check=n,conv=b,uid=0,gid=0,umask=022,bmap]
[me=0xba,cs=496,#f=186,fs=38220,fl=34048,ds=14156,de=49094,data=17224,
se=36,ts=2821351853,ls=2461,rc=0,fc=4294967295]
Transaction block size=512
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 02:00
------------------------------------------
I used the root1440.bin image and made the disk in two ways, using
rawrite2 (DOS system) and the
dd if=root1440.bin of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 conv=sync ; sync
in a intel Linux system. Both disks fail.
Do you have any sugestion ?
Thanks a lot.
ear.
