Comments/Problems:
As with 'linux' install, the net install only has e100. However, it
seems to get much futher more easily. The display works ok for
starters, although the # char scroll bar is not displayed correctly.
Detect hardware and load kernel still results in error messages on VC4
about missing eepro100 and orinoco_pci drivers. But no user messages
are sent back.
Installing the base system worked, but VC4 showed a whole pile of
messages from the installer:
WF: Retrying failed download of %s
I tried to install grub as the bootloader without sucess. There are a
bunch of syslog errors on VC4 during this operation. VC3 has:
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
On VC4:
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy) sector 0
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy) sector 0
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy) sector 2
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy) sector 4
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy) sector 6
My machine only has a CD installed - the ultrabay floppy is currently
not in the machine.
I then tried installing LILO, which went perfectly.
Until I rebooted and system got as far as printing "Booting the
kernel" and doing a warm reboot immediately.
