New Hard-drive problem
I just installed a Western Digital 1080 mg drive. I am using a GSI model
21 Eide controler.(in secondary mode) I have set a 425mg partion for Dos.
The rest is for debian. I am having trouble installing. My 3.5 is drive
b: This is usually not a problem because you can specify a path to root
at the boot promtp. I did that. (at the moment I forget the exact
syntax, but I copy it from the f3 menu, and have done it before. So I am
pretty confident that I did it correctly) I am getting the follow error
message when install tries to access the root floppy.
Floppy 1: Perpendicular mode not supported by this FDC
I assume this means that the Floppy drive controler does not support
perpendicular mode. I don't know what perpendicular mode is. Is there
a way around this, or do I Have to reconfigure my drives. Thank you
