Hello,=20
I'm having a bit of trouble installing Debian Linux on my =
multia.
I am using the ARC console to boot linux fro the resuce disk =
(resc1440.bin).
Everything seems to work. At the MILO prompt I enter boot fd0:linux =
root=3D/dev/fd0 rw
The problem I am having is with the root disk (root1440.bin).
The first disk I tried resulted in the following messages:
Warning VFS unable to mount root filesystem.
Kernel Panic: unable to mount root filesystem.
I made a few more root disks and when I use them I get the following:
Warning VFS cannot open /dev/console
Kernel Panic: cannot open /dev/console.
At this point I am wondering if I have a hardeware problem or if there =
is something in the installing
procedure I have overlooked.
I used the disk set for the noname box I am assuming that this will work =
for the multia as well.
System specs.
DEC Multia
166mhz 21066 cpu
64mb ram
pci option card with ncr53c810 scsi controller
on board ethernet controller
DEC hard drive
Toshiba scsi 4x cd rom
active scsi terminator
BIOS version 3.5-1
If this issue has been addressed elsewhere please let me know.
Thank you for any assistance that you can provide.

Oh, ok.
Well, closing.
Alpha porter (if any) go ahead and reopen this if you like.
