When I try this, it gets to the part where it requests the second floppy
and then prints the following over and over:
---------------------------------------------------------------
.+ [ -b dev/floppy/0 ]
+ mount dev/floppy/0 -o ro -tvfat floppy
<1>Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 4489ed45
printing eip:
c0115825
*pde = 00000000
Oops: 0000
CPU: 0
EIP: 0010:[<c0115825>] Not tainted
EFLAGS: 00010202
<register dump, stack dump, call trace, code>
+ echo -n
+ [ 0 = 0 ]
+ sleep 5
-------------------------------------------------------------
How can I get to a shell so that I can check /dev/scsi?
