help getting 1.2 rescue to boot
I'm trying to boot the Debian 1.2 rescure disk on a Gateway 2000
system and it's hanging in the boot process. (I already have an older
version on Linux (non-Debian) running on this box.) It's hanging
while probing for CDROM drives. The last few lines I see are:
Sony CDU-535: probing base address 340
Did not find a Sony CDU-535 drive
GSCD: version 0.4a Oliver Raupach <raupach@nwfsl.rz.fh-hannover.de>
GSCD: Trying to detect a Goldstar R420 CD-ROM drive at 0x340.
GSCD: Goldstar Interface Adapter does not exist or H/W error
$id: cm206.c,v 0.99.1.1 1996/08/11 10:35:01 david Exp $
and that's it. The cursor is sitting after the last '$'. I let it
sit like that for about 15 minutes just to make sure it wasn't just
slow. I do not have a CDROM drive. Is there a way to boot skipping
the CDROM searching? I could not find any clues in the F1-F10 help
screens.
Thanks,
Mike Roberts
