Re: latest potato boot-floppy fails
I tried your suggestion, David. I.e.,
rescue root=/dev/hda2
(hda2 is where my linux root partition lies). I get a screenful of:
"kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k binfmt-0000, errno = 8"
without quotes of course.

However, it failed at the same spot I had a problem before, (search for "Make boot floppy failed"). It gives the same error messages and behavior. Is there another way? I can't boot directly from hard drive and Tom's rtbt is the difficult to use except for fdisk, (at least for a novice, like me).
