testing distribution
Machine:
Got the machine from someone, haven't got any documentation or

Comments/Problems:
Initial boot doesn't work propperly
need to do root=/dev/fd0 otherwise no boot possible
Mounting can't be done throug the installe menu's
It always wan't to format the harddrive, or am I doning something wrong
here?
got some errors while booting, I thinks this is my own fault, as I
didn't format the disks,
but just did a rm * -r afther mounting and before doing a base
installation
