Installing on an LX164 - what's wrong here?
I'm trying to put debian on several old lx164 machines we have here at
my lab. When I try to install from CD, I go to OS selection Setup,
create a new entry, whose bootloader is CD: \milo\linload.exe and whose
OS path is CD: \milo\lx164 . However, when I hit enter it tells me it
cannot find \milo\lx164 (though it is definitely there), though it can
find the linload.exe on the CD. (and if I try to boot anyyway, it boots
me into the MILO console, instead of the installation system). Any
ideas what's causing this, and how I can fix it?

5.25" drive anywhere]
