Re: UP1000 Question about partitions
Hey,
You must remember that in regards to alphas, i'm a
complete newbie.

I went into AlphaBIOS and went into apb. I then:
cd floppy
cp up1000.pal /dev/sda1
cp apb.exe
This cannot be done (already there)...
How do I configure AlphaBIOS to boot this. Its
telling me that /dev/sda2 (which is my root partition)
does not exist.

I copied the generic rescue disk, but how do I get
into it from alphabios?
