Well, using Ron Farrer's patched ldmilo (thanks a bunch, Ron!!)and the
"ruffian" image from the debian cd gets me about 2/3 of the way to a shell
prompt, but, of course, something else appears. Using the debian image, I
can load the rescue kernel. I get all of the typical kernel message stuff,
but as soon as it asks me for the root disk (created from root.bin, using
rawrite2 in windows), I get a bunch of errors and it dies. Here's the
sequence, starting from insertion of the root image disk:
RAMDISK: compressed image found at block 0
floppy0: data CRC error: track 71, head 1, sector 14, size 2
floppy0: data CRC error: track 71, head 1, sector 14, size 2
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00(floppy), sector 2587
floppy0: data CRC error: track 71, head 1, sector 14, size 2
floppy0: data CRC error: track 71, head 1, sector 14, size 2
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00(floppy), sector 2587
CRC error <5> VFS: Insert root floppy and press ENTER
Once again, I ask your help.
Thanks,
