Debian startup scripts...
Hello Tony,
Please excuse the intrusion, but I came across your name while skimming
through a Debian listserv..
I am in the process of setting a up a Debian 2.2 (Potato) on a PIA box.
I was able to successfully ping the outside world via my firewall, and was
also able to use a text browser (lynx) to navigate the web.
However, I can't seem to be able to browse using Netscape.
So as a remedy, I manually inserted some pertinent info in
/etc/init.d/network.
I also setup /etc/modules to include an alias for my NIC driver(dmfe.o).
The idea is to have the kernel load the correct module for the NIC. After
restarting 'inetd' and recognizing that I still
couldn't see the outside world using Netscape, I decided to reboot.
Unfortunately, the kernel can't find any of the modules listed in
/etc/modules. Hence, the system won't complete the start up sequence..
Additonally, the machine doesn't have a floppy drive. Is there anyway that
I can boot into single user mode and fix the problem?
Are there some hot-keys that I can employ? I have an old Debian 2.0 CD that
I could use as a boot kernel.
I suspect that one of the start up scripts has bogus info in it.
Thanks in advance...
