OKAY!

first thing I noticed is that I need to boot with:
linux root=/dev/fd0 (or some other root) otherwise I get a Kernel Panik
that it can't find a root

when doing this, at some stage I come to:
VFS: Insert root floppy disk to be loaded into RAM disk and press ENTER
but the floppy in the drive isn't ejected so I can't place in the new one.

it is getting late by now (00:48 GMT+1)
tomorrow evening (from about 19:00 GMT+1) I'll try some more with these
floppys and test the other floppy images..
Please do!


Something else:
Can we avoid the duplicates in the E-mail?
I'm on this mailing, I don't need a duplicate.
Are you also subscribed? Can I leave out the duplicate?


thanx,

Robin Harmsen

Got a little question.. is there some changelog available for the floppy images?
so I will be able to see if something is fixed.

like the folowing problem
VFS: Insert root floppy disk to be loaded into RAM disk and press ENTER
but the floppy in the drive isn't ejected so I can't place in the new one.

Greetings,
