I tried that, but it didn't work. Perhaps this hints to a bad image?
I'll try booting with the same diskette on another PC...

Then I don't need the `linux' label anyway.

The last line I see during kernel bootup refers to IDE-1 or IDE-2
and then it reboots.
The PC is a Compaq Deskpro 6000:
PPro 200, 64 MB
Adaptec 2940U SCSI (IRQ 11) w/ one 4.3 GB disk attached.
ATAPI PD-CD (The CD shows up as /dev/hdc on Slackware)
Matrox Millenium graphics card, IRQ11
SMC EtherPower 10/100 (Tulip-based) Ethernet card.
PS/2 mouse.
Any help greatly appreciated. I've been using Slackware since 1994
(and SLS before that), and was looking forward to trying out Debian.
