Re: boot prompt for scsi drives

[Richard Hall <hall@ns.utk.edu>]

you can hit 'F1' to get more info when the boot prompt appears.  I think
that it's F1, maybe Alt-F1, in any case, the boot prompt screen tells you
which.

Where you get the kernel image from depends on how you are installing, so
you really need to tell us more about what you are doing.  Usually the
kernel image is on the rescue disk, but usually you don't need to include
parameters at the boot prompt.

One note on SCSI controllers: Adaptec controllers such as the 2940s may
require that you use a specially compiled rescue disk that you can find at

Good luck,
