This is not my understanding, but then I could be wrong.
I think he should boot the rescue disk, then, at the boot: prompt enter
floppy0
boot: floppy0
The low-mem disk will be prompted for in due course. This confusion
surely highlights the need for better docmentation. I'll knock something
up.
I would like to hear the result of all this as my last test of the low-mem
process showed up an error. When installing modules it did not let me give
any parameters.
