Newbie going crazy........
Howdy all...........:-)
Picked up the following files:
9-18-97 2:24p 1474560 42 base14-1.bin
9-18-97 2:28p 1474560 42 base14-2.bin
9-18-97 2:27p 1474560 42 base14-3.bin
9-18-97 2:23p 1299456 42 base14-4.bin
9-18-97 12:05p 1474560 42 drv1440.bin
9-18-97 11:14a 50556 0 install.txt
9-18-97 1:08p 17863 42 rawrite2.exe
9-18-97 12:10p 1474560 42 resc1440.bin
Followed the directions layed out in install.txt to make the boot, rescue, base, and driver
floppies using rawrite2.exe. Didn't appear to be any problems involved with generating the
floppies.
Have run through the install proceedure three times now, ending up with the same problem(s) each
time:
The following error message is generated when the installation program is setting up Debian so
that it can be booted from the harddrive:
sbin/dinstall: /target/sbin/lilo: not found
When exiting the installation program upon completing the setup, the setup program asks if the
user wants the system rebooted.........when I answer yes, all that happens is a couple of lines
of text stating "Closing xxxxx files" etc. The reboot does not take place......the computer is
just left hanging there displaying those lines of text.
When I try using the boot floppy disk (NOT the rescue disk), the boot appears to proceed
correctly but again I am left with a hung screen.........the driver text info is displayed as
it's being loaded but then I can proceed no further. (Keyboard is functional as I can still type
but commands are not being processed.)
Any thoughts on why these things are occuring would be greatly appreciated......thanks! :-)
