IBM PS/2 386 #70
I took a look at the archives and see many no responses so I'm not too
hopeful about this but...
The computer has a 58 meg ESDI HD. I'm trying to do a floppy install.
I used the "Debian 1.2 boot disk for IBM PS2 systems" from,
http://mojo.calyx.net/~bri/projects/debian/MCA/
Everything went fine (I installed base from Hamm), until I tried to
"Install the operating kernel." It asked for the rescue floppy. I put
that back in and got the following error:
Installing the rescue floppy ...
[MS-DOS FS Rel. 12,FAT 12,check=n, conv=b, uid=0 gid=0, unmask=022,
bmap]
[me=0x63, cs=768, #f=0, fs=4832, fl=0, ds=4832, de=65530, data=8928,
se=14783,
ts=1702060386, ls=8308]
Transaction block size=512
VFS: Can't find a valid MSDOS filesystem on dev 02:00.
Mount /dev/fd0 (type msdos) on /floppy: wrong filesystem type, or bad
superblock on /dev/fd0
I then added,
/dev/fd0 /floppy msdos defaults 0 2
to the /etc/fstab file. I then received the following error:
Installing the rescue floppy ...
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 2378
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 2378
[: resque: unknown operand
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 2374
sbin/dinstall: ./install.sh I/O error
After installing the base and before trying to install the operating
system kernel I selected the option, "make system compatible with ESDI
disks." The readout starts,
Special lilo and fdisk binaries
then the errors come:
sbin:/dinstall: /target/bin/mknod: not found
sbin:/dinstall: /target/bin/mknod: not found....
Anyway I hope someone can make heads or tails of these errors and how
I can proceed.
Thanks,
kent
