Re: MILO + initrd
Jay,
I've downloaded your image, and dump it on a floppy, but I've the same
problem I've with the debian ruffian-milo :
it load ldmilo.exe ... then load the milo, and write :
MILO File with 593576 bytes loaded at 80500000
and the system is freeze in this state ... it doesn't reboot with milo :(
any ideas ??
Anthony
