Boot floppy [URGENT]
Hi all,
I really need a fast help.
I've to setup a debian box with a Compaq Array SCSI Controller.
I downloaded the latest boot floppy for potato to install debian trough
network.
problem:
the Compaq Array where root has to be mounted is loaded only like
module.
I was able to partion disks etc loading the module during the
installation procedure
using the shell on ttyX but now i'd rebooted to continue the setup
procedure and how i suspected the kernel installed on the disk array is
not able to mount root since it doesn't have the module loaded and it
cannot load module not having root mounted.
Now I've compiled a custom kernel with scsi support and cqarray inside
and i made some
try to make a boot floppy but without success.
I used both mkrboot and mkboot.
using mkrboot i'm not able to specify the root disk.
using mkboot it report me (during the boot) lilo error 0x04
How can i do it?
Please help me is really urgent. Any suggestion is welcome
Thanks a lot
Fabio
